I'm looking to see if my current computer parts are suitable for gaming at 1440p and whether there's a risk of bottlenecking. Here's a link to my build: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/7hr4XR. It's funny because the total cost comes to exactly 3333.33 AUD! Any insights would be appreciated!

I’m using a 3080 Ti coupled with a 7700X and 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and it handles 1440p like a breeze—easily runs high settings on most games. I'd say you're going to be just fine with your setup!
Have you already picked up a CPU? 12-core CPUs can underperform in gaming since they have two separate 6-core CCX units. For just a bit more, you could grab a 7800X3D, which is a solid upgrade and cheaper on AliExpress. If you're looking for cool and quiet performance, the Phantom Spirit cooler is a great option. But if you're eyeing graphics cards, there’s a good deal on the Hellhound for $989, which runs cooler, or the Reaper for $959 if you want something smaller and more budget-friendly.
Would an R7 7700X be a good choice for me?
