I'm setting up a PC aimed at gaming at 1440p with 60+ FPS, and I want to know if the parts I've selected will last for several years without needing replacements. Here's my build:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 3.7 GHz 6-Core
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX
- **Memory**: Crucial Pro 32 GB DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: Kingston NV3 1 TB NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB
- **Case**: Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Thermaltake Toughpower GT 750 W 80+ Gold
The total cost is about 1009.96€. I'm also hoping to upgrade to the new 9060 XT when it launches, but I'm unsure if I'll manage to get one. Thanks for the insights!

Overall, your build seems good for now, but don’t expect to max out settings in newer games. If you want more longevity, it might cost more upfront for those beefier parts.
Your setup should manage 1440p gaming, but I’d swap the RX 7700 XT with an RTX 5060 Ti for its extra VRAM and future-proof features like DLSS. It probably offers better support for upcoming games!
For 1440p gaming, you might start with decent settings, but as time goes on, lower settings might be necessary. The 7700 XT isn't quite up to par for long-term 1440p gameplay, especially as new games come out. Just keep an eye on performance and maybe consider other options down the road!
I'd be cautious with the 7700 XT; it’s more of an entry-level card for 1440p. If you can, look at higher-tier options like the 9070/XT or NVIDIA's 5070 series for better longevity. For now, it could run at lower settings, but you might face challenges later.
But it's still quite a step up from previous cards, right? I've been able to play at 1440p reasonably well with upscaling! A jump to a 5070 or better might stretch the budget too much.
It’s always about balancing your budget, but 1000€ is tough if you’re aiming for high-end. Maybe it’s worth considering the next-gen options when they drop.
Your build is solid but could be improved. Consider switching to the 7600 with a stock cooler for savings and upgrading to a 7800 XT for gaming at 1440p. Also, faster RAM and a slightly better motherboard would help. Oh, and those case and PSU recommendations can elevate your overall airflow and efficiency!
I appreciate the feedback! If I can snag that 9060 XT, would I still need those upgrades or would that be sufficient?
Good point! The 5060 Ti may be a solid choice, especially with that extra memory. It’s worth a little extra for better performance down the road.
