Looking for a good 1440P build to offer some longevity.
Do i need a 7800x3d or intels equivilant the 13700 or whatever?
Or would i be fine with a 7700x? im thinking AM5 platform best for longevity.
As for GPU i was thinking a 4070 but im concerned about vram limitation hence maybe a 7800xt or 7900xt?
Do i need water cooling or is air still good enough? ive always gone with air so far.
Thanks for reading, open to suggestions, budget is €3000 max prefer if les but again i want to future proof as best i can.
#1440P build max €3000

Honestly looks good to go.
Only things I’d comment on are the mobo, I think the B650 AORUS is a better board but a bit more expensive. And would suggest going 6000mhz RAM, AMD still loves fast ram 😂

The AK620 is up there with the best air coolers you can buy right now. Really happy it’s been added to the configurator. If there’s a cooler that’ll do it, it’s that one
