Almost Final Build -- Any Red Flags Before Ordering?

Hey all,
I’ve been working on this parts list and I think I’m close to ordering. Budget is ~$1,200, mainly for 1440p gaming (Starfield, Cyberpunk, Baldur’s Gate 3). Here’s my list:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
  • GPU: RTX 4070 Super
  • Motherboard: MSI B650 Tomahawk WiFi
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD (WD Black SN850X)
  • PSU: Corsair RM750e
  • Case: NZXT H5 Flow
  • Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE

Does this look well balanced? Any bottlenecks, overkill, or better swaps at the same budget? I want to make sure I’m not missing something obvious before I hit purchase.

The only issue I see is the 1TB SSD. with games like that you're going to run out of space real fast. I'd recommend either adding a second SSD or swapping out that one for a larger one.

Hey!, I see no mistakes in your build, no red flags, in fact it's a pretty solid build!. I just wonder how are you going to get such build for just ~$1200, maybe from a bundle? Or you may already have some parts? Is it a prebuild super deal? Because I used PCPartPicker and it says it would cost ~$1850, just the GPU would cost $850. You know, the older the GPU, the more expensive it is. 4000 series are a bit old already and their prices can be higher than newer and similar performance GPUs. For example, the RTX5070, appears $300 cheaper than the 4070 super, same VRAM, and researching I found that their performance is pretty similar, even some people recommend getting the 5070 instead, as it's newer, newer architecture and newer features. That's the only change I would make to your build, thinking about saving some money, that you could use to get 2TB of storage instead 1TB. And remember that that case comes with only one front fan, so, you may wanna get at least a 2nd one!.
