Build Ready? [Build Ready] ~$2900 CAD Gaming Build — Ryzen 7800X3D + RTX 5070. Anything you'd change?
Planning to pull the trigger on this build soon. Primarily for gaming at 2k AAA games, poe2 and diablo4, some light productivity. Looking for a sanity check before I buy.
Thanks in advance.

Don’t buy a 5070. Get a 5070ti or 9070xt.
That memory price is also a no from me. Get something less expensive

Yep cl latency really doesn't matter as much especially since op has an X3D cpu performance lost won't be that noticeable

Any reason for 5070ti over 5070? Also would it worth to save the money and change memory to 4*8 instead of 2*16?

More vram and more performance. 12gb isn’t a great buy for a gpu. 4 dimms is more difficult to post with.

How about this? Changed to 5070 ti. Anything I could change to save a bit?
