Hey everyone! I'm putting together a build for a 1440p gaming PC and I'd love some feedback. Here are the parts I've selected so far:
- **RAM**: Kingston FURY Beast 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30
- **Motherboard**: ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi
- **SSD**: 1TB Western Digital WD_BLACK SN7100 M.2 2280
- **CPU Cooler**: CORSAIR Nautilus 360 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler
- **Power Supply**: 850W ATX 3.1 Standard, 80 Plus Gold Efficiency
- **Case**: NZXT H5 Flow 2024 Compact ATX Mid-Tower with high airflow
- **Case Fans**: CORSAIR RS120 ARGB 120mm PWM Fans
- **Operating System**: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Retail (USB)
- **GPU**: ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 OC
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
The total comes to around 2233€ but I'm planning to buy without VAT, which brings it down to about 1764.07€. I'm looking for advice on whether this build is solid, if I need to improve anything, or if I'm missing crucial components. Any thoughts, especially on the GPU, CPU, or storage? Also, if you have recommendations for good stores to buy from, that would be fantastic!

I noticed you have a solid selection, but have you considered upgrading your RAM? 16GB can feel a bit restrictive with some modern games. Also, a 1TB SSD might fill up quickly with current game sizes, so you might want to think about adding more storage down the line. For cooling, unless you’re really aiming for aesthetics, you might save some cash with a good air cooler instead of liquid cooling for this CPU.
Where are your CPU and GPU? Can't see them in the list, but they’re critical for performance, right? It seems like you might have overlooked adding them at first. Also, make sure to plan for potential upgrades like adding RAM or storage down the line.
Definitely go with the NZXT case—it's not just about looks; it has excellent airflow! I think you're on the right track, but make sure your power supply can handle your GPU, especially if you're planning on overclocking later on.
