I’m preparing my initial rig since 2015 and after careful thought, I’ve chosen these parts:
CPU: AMD 5 7600 (non X, should I be concerned about limiting the GPU at 1440p?)
Motherboard: MSI B650 gaming PLUS WIFI (no overclocking planned)
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 5600MHz 32GB Dual Channel
GPU: TUF Gaming 7900xtx OC
Storage: Kingston KC3000 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD 2TB
Case: Fractal North Charcoal Black Mesh Mid Tower (appeals, but I’m concerned about GPU space. TUF is 35.29cm and the case caps at 35.5cm)
Monitor: Philips 27" Curved gaming monitor 27M1C5500VL/00 (164Hz, 1ms, free sync)
Power Supply: Corsair RMe Series RM850e
Additional links: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB6XZ7RH?tag...e=ogi&th=1
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

This thread is about how to request new build or upgrade guidance. It builds on an existing guide about asking for new build advice. The author is sharing this adaptation due to frequent inquiries for upgrade suggestions both here and on CPU forums.

In my view, the RX 7900 XT is significantly more than necessary for 1440p currently.
This doesn’t ignore the truth that higher power consumption extends the lifespan of the hardware.
If your goal is to achieve 165FPS at 144Hz across all games, you’re welcome to proceed.
However, if you target around 165FPS in FPS titles such as CSGO or Valorant and are okay with lower FPS in more demanding AAA games, you can opt for a more affordable card and enhance the rest of your system:

If you’re aiming for the new RX 7800 XT, it’s a solid choice for 1440p and 4K gaming, and it won’t strain your budget much. It’s not available right now, but you can expect to pay between $550-600 (kr6000) depending on the variant, leaving room for a better CPU.
The RX 7800 X3D remains one of the top CPUs for gaming today, though its performance will be less critical when gaming at 1440p compared to GPU usage. Since you didn’t specify an aftermarket cooler, I included a high-quality AIO to maintain optimal CPU temperatures and improve your system’s look.
You could also consider alternatives like the Noctua NH-D15S for air cooling, which would be more budget-friendly while still keeping the CPU cool.
I switched the RAM to a faster configuration that pairs well with the AIO, allowing you to synchronize performance effectively.

Thank you for your feedback! It seems the 7900xtx could be a bit too much right now. The new 7800xt is currently out of stock in Norway and will be available soon. I can wait, but I’m also considering the 6950xt model since it looks just as good.

That's correct, the 6950xt and 7800XT perform similarly, so it comes down to what you can find in your stores, ultimately it's your choice.
