Question CPU/GPU/Mobo new pc questions

[King Friday]

I'm researching a new build for gaming since I have another machine for the Productivity end of things. I'm going on the premise that you build a gaming rig around the GPU, then fit everything else around that. I'm focusing on Good 1440P capability and since some of the games I enjoy are just fine at 1080p.

I suspect I could rightly upgrade the CPU but I'm just not sure.

Here's the system I'm looking at building:

Motherboard: Gigabyte X670 Aorus elite AX

CPU: Ryzen 7700X

GPU: Radeon RX 7800XT

RAM: GSkill Trident Z5 RGB Series DDr5 32GB (2x16) 6000MT/s CL28-36-36-96

OS: Windows 11 Pro

PSU: Lian Li Edge Series-850W 80 Plus Platinum

​

I'm simply trying to avoid Bottleneck issues. Let me know if you need more info.



Any guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a bit biased when it comes to intel, so forgive me if that is a not something you want as part of your system. You can definitely substitute the motherboard for something cheaper. This system can handle what you are after with ease.
