Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sCTPFZ
My goal is to play games at max settings in 1440p ultrawide, ideally at 120hz+ depending on the game
Some notes:
-I'm going for the 7600x3d bundle at Microcenter because the X3D chips help a lot with gaming, especially since I play CPU-intensive games (mainly Path of Exile 1&2 and Monster Hunter Wilds when that's out).
-I chose the 7900xtx because I don't really care for NVIDIA's features. I'm very comfortable paying $800+tax for a graphics card and at that price point my other option worth checking was the 4070ti super, which in my eyes isn't worth it. I also don't wanna deal with the stress of trying to buy a newly released GPU.
-I'm very happy with this list, the only part im still debating is the case. At the ~$100 price, there are a lot of options that I've spent countless hours looking into. I like the aesthetic of glass on the front and side of the case, but since I am using an air cooler I assume that's just bad for airflow especially since the XTX can get pretty hot. I'm happy to spend a little bit more on a case I like the look of, but I feel like I am limited in options because of my setup.
Appreciate any thoughts or feedback anyone has!
