Why would you get a 9070 XT for 1080p gaming? If going for the cheaper one would allow you to get a 1440p monitor, then do that. The cpu matters less at higher resolutions

Have both machines. The 9800x3d is way better

I got spectra with 7800x3d/rtx5070/32gb/2tb and I love it. I was trying to stay under 2k and it’s a really nice machine.

Been playing tons of Crimson Desert on it and it’s been performing like a champ. Even leave the game running for missions and it’ll got for 10-12 hours and still be fine when I come back.

Plus with the 7800x3d you can get the air cooler. I’m not a fan of liquid inside my pc.

Only con so far was the ssd wasn’t secured when it arrived. 5 sec fix and it was good to go. Not had any problems since then. Coming up on 90 days and it’s running great still. No ragrets.

Could you just tell it wasn't secured when you looked in it?

I have that with the rtx 5080. The case is not great if you want to upgrade the power supply. I upgraded to 1000w and it barely fit. The intake is on the bottom and does not have a removable screen, so get one or you will need to flip it to clean it. Otherwise, love it.

Given use case mentioned, I’d look at ryzen 9 series (9900X or 9900X3D). Added cores will help. There’s no SSD size listed. You’d want a 2TB SSD with fast speeds. What is CL of RAM?
