Hello, first build

[abc123_g]

Hi, I'm trying to see what parts can be recommended to me for a PC. A monitor can be included in with the price. 
Budget (including currency):  2500 usd 

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: games I play/would like to play: starfield, cyberpunk, valorant, apex, alan wake 2
I also use adobe programs such as photoshop, illustrator, after effects, and blender for modeling/rendering.

Other details: I want to play at 1440p and have a white build. I do like the Corsair 5000d airflow for a case, but I'm open to other options. I'm interested in an AM5 build, but I hear intel may be better for Adobe programs.
Other than that, I'm open to any suggestions, and advice for this build
Thanks!

thank you
and if I wanted to go with an aio, what size would you recommend for this case? 
Lastly, I'm interested in Corsair's icue/link system. I know it's adding to the amount, but if I wanted to do something like that what size fans should I get?

Use a 360 AIO if you must.

 

I'm not a fan of the iCUE system, but if you want to tightly tie yourself to Corsair products, check the pricing of the 5000D RGB Airflow. Couple it with an H150i AIO. No need to buy more fans unless you want more bling. In which case use Corsair RGB 120mm models.

$2500 budget for a 1440P gaming build that includes using Adobe and Blender and the best you could come up with is a 4070 and 32GB of RAM? Some of your builds are decent but not that one.

There is lots of room in the budget if OP wants more GPU. I just don't think it's necessary for 1440p.

 

Posting graphs that have offer no context is pointless.

The graph says it all.  If I told someone that I had a $2500 budget and that I wanted to game at 1440P and they suggested a 4070 I would be like 'wth'.

Really? So we know how many and what games? The system config? The test methodology?
