I'm planning to build a gaming PC that can run games at 1440p on max settings and possibly handle 4K at lower settings. My budget is around €1500, but it seems my current list comes to about €1600 where I live, which I'm okay with. The most expensive component is the Radeon 9070xt, which costs €690.

By the way, what monitor are you planning to use with this setup? That could impact your gaming experience significantly!
Considering your needs, you might want to swap the 9070xt for a Ryzen 5 7600x and a 2TB SSD. For 1440p, you don't really need that high-end GPU. A more budget-friendly one would still give you great performance.
To save some cash, you might want to choose a non-modular power supply and a less fancy case. It can help lower the overall cost without sacrificing performance.
Here's my setup: Intel i5 13600f, 32GB RAM at 3200 MHz, B760 Gaming X DDR4, and RTX 3060ti. This rig handles everything smoothly!
If you're also into productivity, consider an Intel i5 12600k with a B580 graphics card. It performs well for 1440p gaming and is more affordable than the 9070xt, especially here in NZ.
Hey, where are you finding the 9070xt at MSRP? It seems pretty pricey lately!
