What do you think of this gaming PC build?

-

I’m considering buying this gaming PC priced at around $2100 AUD (about $1340 USD) and would love to hear what you all think. My main use will be gaming at 1080p, possibly 1440p in the future. Here’s the spec list:

– AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (8 Cores, 16 Threads, 4.6GHz)
– Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC Motherboard
– MSI GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (12G Ventus 2X OC)
– Kingston Fury Beast RGB (32GB, 2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz RAM
– Kingston NV3 SNV3S 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
– MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80+ Bronze PSU
– Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE ARGB CPU Cooler
– Thermaltake View 170 ARGB Tempered Glass mATX Case

I’m particularly interested in performance for gaming, so any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks!

That makes sense! I just want to ensure I’m getting good value for performance even if I’m only playing at 1080p for now.
