I've spent the last two weeks researching and putting together a build for a powerful PC that I want to use for 1440p gaming, particularly with BF6 coming out soon. I also plan to use it for 3D modeling and printing. I'm aware that I'm going overboard with the RGB, fans, and AIO cooler, but aesthetics matter to me. I'm looking for any advice or insights before I make this purchase to avoid any regrets! Here's my planned build with the estimated costs:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor - €517.94
- **CPU Cooler**: Phanteks Glacier One D30 Liquid CPU Cooler - €211.14
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI6E ATX AM5 - €193.50 (currently out of stock)
- **Memory**: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000 - €156.75
- **Storage**: Western Digital Blue SN580 2 TB NVMe SSD - €114.99
- **Video Card**: Asus PRIME OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB - €812.95
- **Case**: Phanteks NV5 MKII ATX Mid Tower - €119.94
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM850x 850 W Fully Modular - €169.38
- **Case Fans**: Various Phanteks Fans totaling about €192.32
The total comes to €2488.91. Any tips?

Your build looks solid! But considering the price you mentioned for the 5070 Ti, you might want to peek at the 5080 instead, as it could be worth the extra investment. Just a thought!
This is a great build overall! You're clearly prioritizing the right components, although maybe see if you can snag a cheaper 5070 Ti. I’d also suggest considering the 9070XT or even the 5080. Adding some cable extensions would really polish off your build aesthetically!
Thanks for the suggestions! I've heard mixed things about AMD GPUs; I'm leaning towards Nvidia for better 3D modeling performance. Is that a common opinion?
Yeah, pricing can be all over the place, especially in different countries! If you're scoring the 5070 Ti for €810, that’s not bad, but definitely keep an eye on the 5080 costs too.
