Hey everyone! I'm putting together a new PC build and I'm aiming for a powerhouse that can handle 1440p gaming. Here's what I've selected so far:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **Motherboard:** MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI (ATX)
- **CPU Cooler:** ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
- **Power Supply:** MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5, 1000W (should cover any future upgrades)
- **RAM:** CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 64GB 6400 MHz (but I'm struggling to find it on the compatibility list—can anyone recommend something?)
- **Case:** Phanteks Eclipse G400A Mid-Tower
- **GPU:** 5070 ti
- **SSD:** WD_BLACK SN850X M.2
I'd love your thoughts on my choices and any advice you might have!

I’m not a big fan of AIO coolers, but go for what you like! Just a quick thought—do you really need 64GB of RAM? For most games, 32GB should be plenty. Plus, 6000 MHz RAM might be a better option than 6400 MHz, and consider getting two sticks, like 2x16GB or 2x32GB if you want to future-proof it a little more.
The 64GB is actually on sale now, and since some future games, like Borderlands 4, recommend 32GB, I want a little extra room so I don't hit a wall. Better to be safe than sorry, right?
