Hey everyone! My GPU has sadly died, so I've decided to completely revamp my gaming setup. I'm planning to use my existing case because I really like it, and I believe it will suit my needs. The primary purpose of this build is gaming, but I'll also be doing some minor 3D modeling and general computer tasks. I aim to run games at higher settings on a 1440p resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate. Please let me know if I've missed anything or if you have any suggestions for changes!
Also, I've been keeping an eye on some deals for building a PC, so I'm open to making adjustments for the right price. Thanks!
Here's my current build:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- Cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 R
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 GAMING X WIFI6E
- Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB 32 GB
- Storage: Silicon Power UD90 4 TB SSD
- Video Card: Gigabyte WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
- Case: Fractal Design Meshify C
- Power Supply: be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 750W
- Monitor: LG UltraGear 34GS95QE-B 34" 240Hz
Total Price: ~$2306

I’d recommend spending the extra $10 on a better dual tower cooler like the Thermalright PA120. It'll help keep your CPU cool. Also, consider upgrading to an 850W power supply to give yourself some headroom. For SSDs, I’m not too familiar with that model, but you can check out a flowchart at r/newmaxx for better options.
Good point about the cooler! I think your Ryzen 5 9600X should run pretty cool with the right setup. But if you're considering an upgrade to the 7800X3D, weigh the cost versus performance benefits — it might not be necessary for your needs, especially if you're fine with the 9600X. Also, the 850W PSU is great for ensuring stability during fluctuations and allows for future upgrades.
