Hey everyone! I recently picked up a PNY 5070 TI, but I've realized that the rest of my system is holding me back. Here's what I currently have:
- Motherboard: MSI Z370
- RAM: 32GB DDR4
- CPU: Intel i7 8700
What do you think about this setup paired with the 5070 TI? I'm looking to build a system that can handle BF6 at a decent FPS.
I have an AOC AG271QG monitor that's 27 inches, with a 2560x1440 QHD resolution and a refresh rate of 165Hz that can be overclocked from 144Hz. Also, I have Amazon Prime for the shipping savings. Here's a link to my parts list: [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Cd4Jh7)

Your build looks solid! However, I think you could save some cash by opting for a smaller PSU. A 750W should be plenty for your setup unless you plan on upgrading to a much more power-hungry component down the line. For example, I run a 5900X and RTX 5080 on a 700W PSU with room to spare. Here's a revised suggestion for your build: [Updated Parts List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FkLjmC).
I see you're overspending on both the RAM and PSU. You might want to allocate more of your budget towards getting a better and faster SSD instead. Plus, that motherboard looks pretty basic for a full ATX case - you could find a better one for not much more. Check this out: [Better Options](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vVnwxg).
You’ve chosen a small SFX PSU but have a full-sized ATX case. I suggest looking into the Montech Century II 850W PSU, which would be a better fit for your setup.
Thanks for your input! I agree on the SSD; that’s a good call. And I think I’ll consider that motherboard as well. As for the PSU, I’m thinking I might just stick with my choice for now.
