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.

Should I wait for prices to drop, or is there a clear “best value” option right now?? Thanks!!

I'm tired of playing poker on my iPad. I want a nice desktop setup to reliably run up to ~5 Android emulators to play poker on apps like Pokerrrr 2 and PokerBros. It should be powerful enough to run other poker related programs like Hold'em Manager and stuff like YouTube on the side. Please recommend me everything I would need for a setup requiring minimal installation, including:Powerful desktop PCDual monitorsMouseKeyboard
