Hey everyone! I've been deep diving into parts for my new build over the past week and would love your feedback on my current selection. Here's what I'm looking at:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
- Motherboard: MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi
- RAM: G.SKILL Flare X5 32GB DDR5-6000MHz CL28
- Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
- Storage: WD Black SN850X 2TB
- GPU: Asus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC 16GB
I already have a case and power supply, plus 2 HDDs and 2 SSDs from my old setup. My goal is to game at 1440p with over 60 FPS while also handling productivity tasks like Adobe and Autodesk programs.
I'm a bit torn about the RAM, as I prefer 6400/CL30 but worry about compatibility, so I'm leaning toward 6000/CL28. This RAM fits better under my cooler too, which is a plus! As for a GPU, I'm considering if it's worth the extra cost of 990 Pro or T705 NVMe drives for PCIe 5.0, even though the WD Black 850 is already solid.
Before I finalize my budget at around 1400€, any advice or validation would be greatly appreciated!

I think you might want to reconsider the CPU and GPU combo. The Ryzen 5 9600X paired with an RTX 5070 could give you better performance at 1440p. Just a thought!
Good point! Do you think the 9600X can handle that 5070 without causing any bottleneck?
