Hey everyone! I'm in the process of planning a new PC build and would love to get some feedback on my component choices. I haven't purchased anything yet, so it's a perfect time for suggestions! My goal is to move from 1080p to 1440p for gaming, as I enjoy titles like Cyberpunk, Skyrim, various VR games, Overwatch, and Baldur's Gate 3. Here's what I'm considering for my build:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
- GPU: Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
- Motherboard: Asus B650-E WIFI
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MT/s
- SSD: MSI SPATIUM M461 2TB
- CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 Core II
- PSU: Corsair RM850e 850W ATX 3.1 (850W Gold)
The total cost for this setup is around €2000 based on my research. What do you all think? Any suggestions for alternatives or improvements?

Overall, your build looks great! However, I'd recommend rethinking your PSU choice. The Corsair RM850E is solid, but there are better options available at a similar price point, like the Sama P1000 Platinum. You might want to check out this PSU tier list for reference! As for the SSD, I’d suggest looking into the Western Digital SN850X instead of the MSI Spatium M461 for better reliability.
Thanks for the tier list! I really only understand the basics of PSUs, so I appreciate the advice. I’ll definitely look into some alternatives!
