I'm looking for feedback on my current PC build to see if it's capable of handling smooth gaming at 1440p. I don't live in the US, so my pricing differs from what you might see, but the parts are the same brands. I'm particularly concerned about any potential bottlenecks or if I've gone overboard with any components. I'm unsure about the motherboard's capability as well. Here's what I have: CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, Cooler - Peerless Assassin 120 SE, Motherboard - GIGABYTE B850 Gaming WIFI6, RAM - CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 2x16GB, 6000MHz, CL36, SSD - Crucial P310 1TB, GPU - ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 OC, Case - Phanteks XT Pro Ultra, PSU - be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 750W.

Your build should work nicely for 1440p gaming! The RX 9070 might require you to dial down some settings to hit your desired frame rates, especially if you're aiming for a high FPS while playing demanding titles, but overall, you’re set up pretty well!
Looks like a solid build for 1440p! Just a heads-up, though — the motherboard might be a bit more than you need, but it won't hurt to have some extra features. Enjoy your gaming!
Yeah, I thought it was a bit overkill too, but sometimes it's nice to have future upgrade options!
That's good to hear! I was worried I might need to make some sacrifices for performance, but sounds like it's manageable.
