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.

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?

I’ll mostly be gaming on a 1440p 165Hz monitor, aiming to get as close to that refresh rate as possible in newer titles. For streaming, I’d probably keep it at 1080p60 to start, using NVENC rather than CPU encoding. I don’t plan on overclocking right away, but I’d like to keep the option down the line. As for GPU upgrades, I could see myself moving up to something like a 4080 Super or equivalent in a few years, but nothing crazy beyond that.

Great!! Thanks for clearing that up.

Everything looks generally solid and compatible. Your CPU, cooler, motherboard, RAM, and case all pair well together, and the Arctic Liquid Freezer III should handle the i5-13600K even if you decide to overclock later.

Your PSU, the Corsair RM750x, should be plenty for this build with the RTX 4070 Super and leaves a bit of headroom for a future upgrade to something like a 4080-class card, though if you plan to push beyond that, you might want to consider an 850W unit for extra overhead.

For your use case this setup should perform very well. The 4070 Super is strong for 1440p, but if you’re looking for alternatives at similar price points, the RX 7800 XT or even a lightly discounted 4070 Ti could be worth considering depending on current deals.

Overall, I’d say you’re in good shape. Just double-check clearance in your O11 Dynamic Evo for the 280mm AIO and the GPU length, but it should fit fine.

Hope this helps!

Hey! That looks like a solid starting point. For 1080p, I’d actually lean a bit more toward the RTX 4060 Ti if you want really smooth frame rates in newer AAA titles. It should handle high settings comfortably and give you some room for the next few years.

Some tweaks I’d suggest:

  • RAM: 16GB DDR5 is usually enough for 1080p gaming, so you could save a bit here unless you also plan on streaming or heavy multitasking.
  • Case: Fractal Meshify C or NZXT H510 are both solid airflow options without breaking the bank.
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD is perfect, but if you need more space, consider adding a 2TB HDD for mass storage of media and older games.

Overall, the build looks great!!

Here are a few thoughts I had about your build. Firstly, the CPU - Ryzen 5 7600 is perfect! The PSU - 650W Gold is plenty, but if you think you might upgrade the GPU in a couple of years, you could go 750W for some extra headroom... Lastly with cooling - stock cooler on the Ryzen 5 7600 is okay, but a small aftermarket cooler (options below) could help keep temps lower and reduce fan noise! Either GPU will crush 1080p gaming, just pick based on price and what’s available. The rest of the build seems well-balanced!
