Haven't ever made a pc or anythingh even similar to it before, so before i finalize and start buying the parts i was just wondering what much smarter people then me thought and if i made and bad choices or mistakes anywhere, p.s also wondering if i should also buy some fans seperately.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: i want to be able to play games like silent hil 2 remake, helldivers 2, and total war warhammer 3, along with using the computer sound and music design for uni. with being able to run games in genral at a stable 1440p

Other details: after going over parts and many other things and talking to people who are much better informed with pcs then i. This is the list of parts i have chosen

1399 dollars seems alot for 4070 ti super. idk tho i can be pretty dumb sometimes

[idklikebruh]

you may also be able to get a ryzen 7 7800x3d for similiar price to your cpu and i think it performs better but its a pretty good build

basically saved on wasted money and now you have a MUCH faster pc even budget left meaning you can get a faster cpu, more storage,...

[Why_Me]

DDR5-6000 CL30 > DDR5-6000 CL36. You want a ATX 3.0 psu for these RTX 40XX cards due to the adapter.

[At0mhandl3r]

but i've heard that liquid cooling is better then normal air fan cooling? is that true or is it not much of a difference?

It depends. For the cpu's here doesn't matter as they are VERY efficient. The thermalright also goes up against most 240/280mm aio's.
