Opinions on My Current Part List

Hi,
This is the list I’ve drafted for a new PC. Budget is around $1,000. My goal is smooth 1080p and 1440p gaming on modern titles.

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
  • GPU: RX 7800 XT
  • Motherboard: MSI B550 Gaming Plus
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4 3600MHz
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD + 2TB HDD
  • PSU: Cooler Master MWE 650 Bronze
  • Case: Lian Li 216

Do you think the CPU and GPU are balanced, or would you adjust? Also not sure if the 650W PSU is enough or if I should go higher. Any thoughts on the case airflow would also help!!

Can I ask why you chose that PSU? You're going to have issues with that card and CPU with that PSU. Minimum wattage should be 700.

What do you recommend instead at a higher wattage? I'd like some headroom in case I want to upgrade something in the future.

Hey man. Sorry for the delayed response. Holidays and all. If you are concerned about future proofing and need higher headroom then go with 1000 Watt. That's my go to and you can't go wrong.
