First high-end gaming PC – looking for advice before I buy
Hey everyone!
I’m planning my first high-end gaming PC and would really appreciate some advice before I order the parts.
Budget: around €2,000–€2,500
Country: Austria
Use: Mainly gaming
Target: 1440p, high refresh rate
Games: mainly Valorant, Ready or Not, Minecraft, GTA V
I’m going for a black + RGB build and would like to control as much of the RGB as possible through Corsair iCUE.
Parts I’m considering:
- Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
- Gigabyte B650 AORUS PRO AX
- Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPO
- 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
- Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN II 360 RX LCD
- Corsair FRAME 4500X RS-R ARGB
- Corsair RM1000x 1000W
- 3 included RS-R ARGB fans + 1–2 additional iCUE LINK fans
- Commander Duo for the non-LINK fans
I mainly want feedback on compatibility, cooling/airflow, whether the 1000W PSU makes sense, and if there are any parts you’d change for better value.
I’m especially interested in hearing if there’s anything I’m overlooking before buying everything.
