Help Me Build Around My CPU + Case
Hey everyone,
I’ve already locked in my CPU (Ryzen 7 7700X) and Case (Fractal Meshify 2 Compact), but I need help with the rest of the build. My goals are for gaming at 1440p, and occasional productivity (photo editing, light video work).
I need help picking GPU (thinking RX 7800 XT or RTX 4070 Super), motherboard (B650 or X670 with Wi-Fi), RAM (32GB DDR5, good speed but affordable), PSU (reliable, quiet, Gold-rated), and storage (likely 1–2TB NVMe SSD).
I’d love suggestions to fill out this build while keeping things balanced and future-ready.
Max. Budget
$1400.00
Well I'd say it depends upon what you value more. The RX 7800XT beats the 4070 in raw performance at a lower price. But has weaker ray tracing. While the 4070 has slightly less Vram. If your value longevity and any VRAM intensive work (I.E. photo editing etc) then go with the 7800. If its just gaming and you want that ray tracing then go with the 4070
MB, go with the B650. Hands down.
For the RAM, check out Corsair Vengeance DDR5-600CL30
SSD, I always prefer Crucial. They have the best price to performance IMO.
PSU, If cable management is important to you then I'd got with the Corsair RM750x Its fully modular and rock solid.
