You are picking the best AMD gaming CPU and not the best Intel gaming CPU.  Even if you up it to the best Intel, it still falls short.

 

AMD build, 100%.

 

Suggestions:

 

Get CL30 RAM.  Won't impact too much with an X3D cpu, but may as well when building.

 

That CPU cooler is expensive what it does.  A good air cooler is all that is needed, but if you go AIO... get Arctic Freexer Pro 360 instead.

 

Tho these may be prebuilts?

Now you can get a 5080 for the roughly the same price as your 5070Ti builds.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

Bio:

He/Him - I'm a PhD student working in the fields of reinforcement learning and traffic control. PCs are one of my hobbies and I've built many PCs and performed upgrades on a few laptops (for myself, friends and family). My personal computers include 4 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). Aside from computers, I also dabble in modding/homebrew retro consoles, support Southampton FC, and enjoy Scuba Diving and Skiing.

Fun Facts

1) When I was 3 years old my favourite toy was a scientific calculator. 2) My father is a British Champion ploughman in the Vintage Hydraulic Class. 3) On Speedrun.com, I'm the world record holder for the Dream Bobsleigh event on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games 2010.

 

My Favourite Games: World of Tanks, Runescape, Subnautica, Metroid (Fusion and Dread), Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Original and Reignited Trilogy), Crash Bash, Mario Kart Wii, Balatro

 

My Computers: Primary: My main gaming rig - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/will0hlep/saved/NByp3C Second: Hosts Discord bots as well as a Minecraft and Ark server, and also serves as a reinforcement learning sand box - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/will0hlep/saved/cc9K7P NAS: TrueNAS Scale NAS hosting SMB shares, DDNS updater, pi-hole, and a Jellyfin server - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/will0hlep/saved/m37w3C Foldatron: My folding@home and BOINC rig (partially donated to me by Folding Team Leader GOTSpectrum) - Mobile: Mini-ITX gaming rig for when I'm away from home -

So mainly is for gaming.
I'm not trying to go for the very high/ultra settings in most modern games (like Doom, Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring, etc...) but If I can have them at a reasonable FPS (the target would be 60FPS) it would be appreciated.

 

In terms of Android Studio, it's mainly pet projects, not that demanding.

So mainly is for gaming.
I'm not trying to go for the very high/ultra settings in most modern games (like Doom, Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring, etc...) but If I can have them at a reasonable FPS (the target would be 60FPS) it would be appreciated.

 

In terms of Android Studio, it's mainly pet projects, not that demanding.

Okay, then your GPU matters far more than your CPU. Although, at this budget I would suggest getting an 8 core CPU.

 

That said, a 9700X is cheaper and from the benchmarks I see online nets very similar results to the 7800X3D, so I wouldn't recommend the 7800X3D anymore.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

My personal computers include 4 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future).

Just a curiosity about the monitor I had in my post.
Is it a bad one? I mainly chose this one, because I already have one and it's not bad

VA panels arn't typically prefered
