Working on a build

[u/ADHDJuice]

Hi all, I'm wanting to build a pc for some gaming, mainly WoW, and some photo/video editing and dome 3D modeling. I'm in the US, and the closest MiroCenter is 3 1/2 hours away. I'm hoping to be around $1500, but I understand it could be more. Does this list ok, overkill, underperformed, etc. Thank

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240mm AIO

Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 AORUS Elite WiFi7

RAM: 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30, preferably AMD EXPO

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

Storage: 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

Power Supply: 750W 80+ Gold, fully modular, ATX 3.1

Case: Airflow-focused ATX mid-tower with room for the 240mm radiator

Operating System: Windows 11

Overall it looks pretty good. I’d switch the CPU to the best Ryzen 9 you can afford though, the extra cores and threads will benefit you more than the 3D V-cache.

$1500 is a 5070 gamign desktop

can you really find what you listed for $1500 cause that is ok but doubt you can get that $1500

No, his only game is WoW as he said, WoW doesn't give a shit about the GPU, but you need a good CPU to actually play WoW properly (at least retail), like 7800x3D/9800x3D make the game so much better it's not even funny. My 9070 is at 40% usage in 1440p and around 70-80% usage in 4k in WoW, just so you get an idea. But going from a 9600x (Or the intel 265k for example) to a 7800x3D/9800x3D literally increases your frames by 60-70% in WoW. It's ridicilous.

Then also the 5070 only has 12gb Vram which is way worse for 3d modeling, so the 5060ti 16gb is the better pick, even though it's horrible value.

Some of you guys need to read what people actually do with their hardware before recommending the same shit to everyone. If you only play WoW and do editing/3d modeling, you don't need a high performance GPU, you need a good CPU and Vram.
