I'm thinking about putting together a 1440p gaming rig and I'm considering buying all the parts listed in my PC Part Picker link. I'm curious if anyone has thoughts or advice before I make the leap! Here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2K8qMC.

If you can fit a 5070 into your budget, definitely go for it! It'd really enhance your gaming experience with that setup.
Just a heads up, the B850 motherboard might not be a big deal if you're not planning to use PCIe 5 for NVMe drives. The speeds between PCIe 4 and PCIe 5 are pretty similar, and the cost difference can be a bit much. I'd suggest looking for a cheaper B650 board that matches your build if you care about aesthetics, but if not, performance should still be solid.
Also, have you considered the Thermalright Frozen Prism 360mm? It performs comparably to the Arctic but is way cheaper! Of course, if aesthetics matter to you, go with what suits your look.
Oh, thanks for sharing your thoughts on that!
hmm I'll try doing that!
