My PNY 4070ti has run with zero issues. Bought this when originally released in 2023. Had not bought a PNY product since old ATI days. Runs a 34" Alienware QD-OLED 21:9 at 1440p with ease. Great card! Would recommend.

If your psu is out of warranty thena good insurance policy is a new one for that gpu investment.

Depends on your monitor as well.

All depends on what you use the PC for, assuming gaming since you have the x3d. What monitor are you using?

I'm still using a 5800x3d, 4070ti TI on 3440 x 1440p display primarily for gaming and still runs smoothly. If on a budget the 7800x3d is still a solid choice.

I just picked up an Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED 21:9. It was released a few years ago and uses DP 1.4. Make the leap, it is worth it.

Went from a 3800x to a 5800x3d, gaming is smoother.

Get a 5800x3d. If you have a Micro Center near you they sell for $290. 64GB of memory is fine but I'd go with only 2 sticks. Hard to get Ryzen's to run 4 sticks at 3200MHz. Memory is cheap. Upgrade GPU with money saved. Enjoy.

If going x3d then the 7800x3d is the one to choose for flat out gaming.

How old is your power supply? I suggest you verify all the psu cables are still securely pulgged in.

This^ The 12400 and 5700x perform almost equally at 1080p. Get whatever is cheaper when the full build costs are compared. Yoy will get an additonal $20 off a compatible motherboard at Micro Center, Micro it is THE best place to get the cpu and motherboard. For the memory and psu you should...

Where is the AIO mounted? That cpu should not be an issue to keep cool. That case really restricts airflow.

At 1440p the 13600 and 7600x are similar with a 4090, Google it. Both typically generate over 144 FPS in most game titles. Once again, if you buy the 13th Gen now that may be the last cpu for the LGA1700, 14th may have a refresh but not stated yet. The AM5 platform leaves room to upgrade the...

List all of your PC specs please inclduing the pc case and cpu cooler.

For 4k the 7600x is all the money you need to spend as far as a cpu.
