Hey everyone! I've put together a PC build and I'm looking for your thoughts on it. Here's the link to my part list: [PCPartPicker List](https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/FF8FrM). I'm especially curious if there are better alternatives or if I'm missing anything important. Thanks!

Honestly, you might want to reconsider a few parts. For starters, do you really need an 8-core CPU? The 7800 XT is priced pretty high right now—better to look at the 9070 XT, which offers better value. I made a list that could perform better while saving you some cash. If you're open to switching, the 7600X or even a different case could be great options. Here’s my suggested setup: [New Part List](https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/RtnmHW). Prices are a bit rough here in Portugal, but it’s worth a look!
Your build looks decent, but I think you could optimize it further. The CPU choice isn't optimal for gaming as the 7600 or an X3D model might serve you better. The cooler you've picked isn't really worth the price either; a dual-tower cooler might be a better fit, or just use the stock cooler for a non-X CPU. You also have cheaper, equally good motherboards and NVMe options available. Your case and PSU seem a bit overpriced as well. If you can find an 850W PSU for less, go for it! Here’s a potential revision: [PCPartPicker List](https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/tbLCVF). With the savings, you could snag a better CPU or GPU!
I think your case and PSU are definitely on the pricey side. There are better options out there, plus you could look for an M.2 PCIe 5.0 for potentially faster load times. Other than that, it’s all about your personal preferences!
I'm considering an upgrade soon, too. I have a 4080 I’d keep—think this setup would run AAA games smoothly at 1440p 100fps?
