Cooler option

I apologize for the ai pictures beforehand sadly that’s the best I can do for visualization. If the mods deem it to break the rule I will delete it. It’s based on my current set up only with switched out gpu and cooler.

What cooler option do you think is better ? Trying to go for a bit of a panda build due to the motherboards silver accents.

GPU choice

Hello,

I recently rebuild nearly all of my system (7700 with 32gb of ram, 850W PSU) but due to the current pricing I stayed with my 1660 super. Now I learned that I will be getting back extra 800$ due to overspending on my energy bills so that would be my budget for a GPU upgrade. In my country (Czechia) the prices are a bit high since we have 20% value added tax on everything. The options are:

5070 for 715$

9070 for 770$

9070xt for 850$

All of these prices are the msrp here and they won't be dropping any further, been stable like this. the price for 1440p monitor would be roughly 150$. So the question is do I spend all of my budget on the 9070xt and be stuck with a 27ich 1080p monitor, or do I go for the 5070 which would be in my budget even with the monitor, or do I go for the middle ground and get the 1440p monitor a bit quicker.

I don’t really care about mainstream cinematic AAA games (like Cyberpunk or Alan Wake). I mostly play heavy strategy games, military/naval simulators, and co-op horde shooters:

World of Warcraft, World of Warships, War Thunder
Helldivers 2, Warhammer 40k: Darktide
Total War: Warhammer 3, Hearts of Iron IV
Future games I want to play:Space Marine 2, Total War: Warhammer 40K, Dawn of War 4

Thank you for any input.

100% GPU utilization

Hello I recently nearly rebuild my pc, went form a i7 4790k with 16gb ram to the ryzen 7 7700 with 32gb. Since the pc price economy is currently fucked as we all know I decided to keep my 1660 super since it’s still quite enough for my games on lower setting with the idea to upgrade to 5070/ti later this year. So in nearly all of my games the utilization of the gpu is always on 100% with temps around 70C. Can this cause any long term damage if I keep it up for next few months until I can buy a new gpu ? Would like to keep the card working so I can gift the system later on once I upgrade.

Hello I am currently finishing my build and I am split between these two options for my cpu and ram combination. The first option is the ryzen 7 7700 with 32gb of ram which would cost me roughly 700$. The second option is the 7 7800x3d with 16gb of ram which comes up to 650. Prices are converted from my local European currency. What would in your opinion be a better option. For gpu I will be using my old 1660 super but want to upgrade later this year to 5070 for 1440p gaming. I play mostly cpu heavy games like total war warhammer, hoi4, helldivers 2 and wow.

Hello, i am currently finishing my build and i am deciding between these two cpus. It will be paired with 32gb ram and my old 1660 super until i upgrade to 5060ti/5070 later this year. I play mostly cpu heavy games like total war titles, helldivers 2, darktide, hoi4 and wow. What would be the better option, the 7500x3d is roughly 50$ more. Is the extra worthy for the extra L3 cashe of the x3d chip ?
