I’m curious if my current PC build is considered high end. Here’s a link to the parts I chose: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qR2zxg. I would love to get some insights on whether this setup can handle modern games and content creation without a hitch!

I’d say this build is leaning towards higher mid-range. It’s not ‘super high end’ but it’s not bad at all. The performance should be great for gaming, though I would invest a bit in more RAM or storage if needed.
You might want to consider using CL30 RAM for a bit more performance. The term “high end” can mean different things to different people, but I think a good modern CPU paired with a solid GPU, like your suggested 70 Ti class, definitely counts as high end in my book!
It really depends on your perspective. Overall, this build is definitely better than many people’s setups. I consider the RX 5080/90 series to be genuinely high end, while the RX 9070 XT you’re using is more towards the top end of mid-range. But honestly, it’ll perform way better than my Ryzen 7 7700 paired with a 1660 Super!
I took a look at your PCPartPicker list, and it seems like a solid build! You’re looking at a total of about $1433.85, with components that will certainly handle 1440P and even 4K gaming. Just be mindful that those graphics prices are a bit steep; if you can wait for a drop, it might save you some cash!
Do you have any recommendations for a good monitor to pair with it?
This setup looks well-optimized for performance! The RX 9070 XT is pricey, but it’ll definitely handle high quality settings well. If you can save $200, it might be worth it to invest in more RAM and an SSD, depending on what software you use.
What’s the best way to optimize for Blender or heavy tasks?
PLATFORM INFORMATION
You can find almost the same price CL30 RAM from Patriot that could offer better performance in gaming and tasks like compression. The secret is to look for tight timings, ideally around 10ns!
