Hey everyone! I'm really excited to build my first PC specifically for 1440p gaming. I've put together a list of parts, and I'd love to get your thoughts on it before making any purchases. Here's the link to my build: [PCPartPicker Build List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wqRv9C). Thanks!

I think your build could use a few upgrades for a bit more cash. Check out this list I put together: [Better Build List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JV4s3w). You’ll get a solid motherboard, upgraded RAM, double the storage, a more reliable power supply, and a better version of the 9070xt. Total cost is around $1435.11!
Your parts look decent so far, but don’t overlook the monitor! If you haven’t already picked one out, pay attention to refresh rates, compatibility with the resolution, and available USB support.
I just grabbed an HP x32, which is 165Hz 1440p, for $100! Pretty stoked about it!
Check out my final build here: [Final Build List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RRqmMC). Fingers crossed everything works out smoothly!
I'd steer clear of pairing a Zen 5 CPU with an ASRock motherboard. I’m a fan of ASRock, but there’s a small risk of CPU failure. It's something to keep in mind!
Is this an issue with all Zen 5 CPUs or just the X3D models?
Wow, that's surprising! What motherboard would you recommend instead?
I already have a 1TB SSD, so I might just stick with a 1TB for now. But I’ll definitely consider swapping the mobo, PSU, and RAM. Thanks!
