Given you’re coming from an RTX 3080 and have a healthy budget, here’s what I’d actually recommend to you.
If you want a real upgrade that you’ll feel immediately, go with the MSI Raider A18 HX. It’s powerful, properly cooled, and won’t hold the 5080 back. This is the safest “no regrets” pick.
If you want to be a bit smarter with your money while still getting top-tier performance, I’d point you to the MSI Vector 16 HX AI. This is honestly what I’d pick for myself great performance, much better value, and still a clear step up from your old machine.
If you care more about a big, premium experience (larger screen, design), then the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 makes sense, but you’re paying extra for that feel.
I wouldn’t personally recommend going cheaper unless you really need to options like the Hasee T8 Pro save money, but you’re trading off build quality and cooling, which matters a lot at this level.
If you want my direct pick for you, go with the MSI Vector 16 HX AI unless you specifically want an 18-inch powerhouse.

Forgot the SSD. But this should be plenty.

For your professional photography work, I recommend buying a laptop with a high-accuracy OLED or Liquid Retina XDR display and at least 32GB of RAM to ensure your Photoshop and Lightroom workflows are smooth even for large files. Within your budget, the Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M3/M5 Pro) is excellent for industry-standard color fidelity, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED provides a larger 16-inch 4K screen and a dedicated NVIDIA GPU that significantly speeds up AI-based editing features. Being an Editor myself I would highly recommend these two options.

Would you prefer a laptop or a stationary workstation

I know exactly what you need.

Looks like a pretty good list of components. Other than the storage already mentioned, for your RAM, are you sure that it is EXPO certified? It'd be shame if it didn't. Note that XMP (Intel) and EXPO (AMD) aren't the same. And you may encounter issues when you try to load the profile in your BIOS to make sure it runs on the 6000mhz you bought it for. Otherwise, it'll just run at 4800 or 5600.

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!.

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.
11/26/2025
I gotchu.
here's a full Build with links that will meet your needs and provide a full upgrade path later.
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
GPU ASUS Dual 6700xt
MB ASRock B550M‑HDV (mATX)
Storage (Stick with the SSD)
Case NZXT H6 Flow
RAM G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB DDR4‑3200
PSU Thermaltake Smart BM3 650 W PSU

1. NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super
It is generally 5–10% faster than the 7800 XT and offers superior features for your "occasional productivity." NVIDIA’s **NVENC encoder** is the gold standard for video work, and **DLSS 3.5 (Frame Gen/Ray Reconstruction)** provides better longevity for demanding future games.
2. MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi
B650 boards handle the 7700X perfectly. The "E" (Extreme) variant of B650 is the "future-ready" sweet spot because it includes **PCIe 5.0** support for your next GPU or SSD upgrade.
3. G.Skill Flare X5** (low profile, fits under air coolers)
Ensure the kit supports **AMD EXPO** for one-click overclocking in the BIOS. Anything faster than 6000MT/s often leads to stability issues on the AM5 platform without manual tweaking.
4. WD Black SN850X (2TB)
I recommend starting with a single **2TB NVMe SSD**. 1TB fills up surprisingly fast with modern games and RAW photo files.
5. Seasonic Focus GX-750
80+ Gold, famously quiet, and come with a 10-year warranty. 750W is more than enough for this build, but you can jump to 850W if you want extra headroom for a massive GPU upgrade in 4 years.
3/25/2026
My suggestions are concerning about your budget, but with good brand quality. Budget of 1,400$ is a bit low. Just get yourself a nice Case.
Procie: Ryzen 7 7700X
GPU: RTX 4070 SUPER
RAM: Team Group 16GB (2 x 8GB)
PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold 850W Fully Modular
STORAGE: Team Group NV5000 M.2 2280 1TB

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.
4/30/2026
You look like you've got a pretty good list of components. Regarding your question:
Are you planning to stick to GPUs like the 4070 or 1440p? If not, and you're looking to start gaming on 4k, your PSU might not be enough since 4080s and higher need a minimum of 750w and I wouldn't just get the bare minimum.
Also, did you check your RAM to make sure they are XMP certified? It'd be a shame to buy them and then have them run at 4800mhz or 5600mhz instead of the rated 6000mhz.

Everything here works cleanly together:
i5-13600K + Z790 → perfect pairing, no BIOS issues
DDR5 6000 → ideal sweet spot for Intel (plug-and-play XMP)
280mm AIO in O11 Dynamic Evo → supported (top/side mount)
RM750x + 4070 Super → no connector or wattage issues
2TB NVMe → no lane conflicts on Z790
13600K (boost): ~150–180W
4070 Super: ~200W
Rest: ~50–70W
Total ≈ 400–450W load
That’s great for a 750W PSU (efficiency sweet spot).
But if you want my recomendation
I’ve drafted a build for gaming (1440p) and light streaming/editing
Optimized list
CPU: i5-13600K (unchanged)
Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280 (unchanged – excellent choice)
Motherboard (optimized):
Switch from Z790 Tomahawk → B760 Tomahawk / Gaming Plus WiFi
Saves money
Same real-world performance unless heavy overclocking
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30–36 (unchanged)
Storage (specific upgrade):
Go WD SN850X
Much better sustained speeds for editing
GPU: RTX 4070 Super (keep)
PSU (important change):
Upgrade to 850W ATX 3.0
Future GPUs demand more power
13600K + high-end GPUs benefit from 850W+
Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo (keep—but see airflow note below)
3/25/2026
The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo is a large case – ensure your space can accommodate it. If budget allows, you could allocate a small amount to additional case fans for better airflow.
Would you like help adjusting the build to stay exactly at $1500 or prioritize a specific feature like more VRAM?
11/25/2025
What monitor refresh rate and streaming/recording settings (resolution, framerate, encoder) do you plan to use, and do you intend to overclock or upgrade to a significantly higher-power GPU soon?
11/18/2025
If you're aiming for strong 1440p gaming performance without breaking the bank, here are some excellent GPU alternatives that fit your budget:
For the best value, I think the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC offers a balance of performance and price.
I hope this helps!!
