Hey everyone! I'm planning to put together a gaming PC for Christmas since I'm upgrading from a budget prebuilt I got back in 2019. I expect the total cost to be around $2,000. My main game is Rust, and I want to know what you all think about the parts I've chosen. Additionally, when do you recommend I start purchasing the components? Should I wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday discounts, or might some parts be cheaper if I buy them now? I'd really appreciate your insights!
Here's my build:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800x3d
- GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 TI 16GB
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650 PLUS WIFI
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 > 6000 MT/s | Corsair Vengeance EXPO
- PSU: 750W Gold | Corsair RM750x
- Cooling: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 AIO
- Storage: 2TB SSD | Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe SSD
- Case: NZXT H5 Flow

You're picking all top-end components, so yeah, this build will definitely smash 1440p gaming, especially for Rust! Just keep an eye on sales, and snag parts as they get discounted.
I get that! I'm just curious if I should tweak anything for better performance or future-proofing. This is my first build, and I want to make sure I'm making the best choices possible!
