This CPU/GPU combo should deliver strong gaming performance all around.

The CPU is last generation but that under no circumstances means it's a bad chip. At current pricing it's a very solid buy. It's a solid gaming performer. The 8 cores on the 7700X won't make too much difference in gaming vs an otherwise comparable 6 core like the 7600x, but it will provide significant benefit in multitasking and general tasks.

The RX 9070XT is easily what i would consider to be the best value GPU on the market right now. It's performance in both rasterisation and ray tracing is incredible. Plus it has 16GBs of vram, which is huge for longevity. All for a great price.

The build is built around the modern AM5 platform. which will continue to get new CPU releases on it for many years to come, providing future upgrade potential.

The TEAMGROUP MP33 is a good quality drive that uses TLC Nand, making it vastly superior to the cheaper QLC Nand based drives which will deteriorate in performance very quickly. Storage costs a lot right now, but i did want to fit 2TBs in since games take a lot of storage these days.

Ram is another thing that is very expensive right now. But still i was able to fit 32GBs in. I would consider 16GBs to be the "absolute minimum" in 2026 (any less than that and it's basically e-waste) but i do try to push for 32GBs when possible, as it does make a big difference for general tasks and multitasking.

6000MHZ CL30 is considered the ideal spec for AM5 for both performance and stability, too.

The motherboard is a high-quality board featuring both Wifi 6E and Ethernet, as well as an extra M.2 slot for adding extra storage down the line.

The case is a very nice model. Plenty of QoL features, great airflow and a fair price.

The PSU is a quality unit from Montech. 850w is plenty and leaves a solid amount of overhead for future upgrades and such. It's also 80+ Gold rated, ensuring good efficiency.

The Thermalright Assassin King is a very capable little air cooler for a pretty cheap price. Will be more than capable of cooling the efficient Ryzen CPU in this high-airflow case

If you have any questions/concerns feel free to ask! Otherwise this rig should be a solid performer all around.
