The brand doesn't particularly matter, they're all pretty reliable, and have a warranty to back them up in case you have any issues. Even the best know brands make a dud every now and again anyway.

Okay thank you for the advice, sorry for the late response

The cheapest one you can find is typically the best one with very few exceptions. I can give a specific card recommendation if you can narrow down to either the 4070, 4070 Super, 4070 ti, or 4070 Ti Super.

Just the regular 4070, thanks for the feedback sorry for the late response

All of them are out of stock or 700+ dollars.

Your build looks solid for gaming and recording content, but here are some potential improvements and considerations:

Strengths​

✔ Strong CPU & GPU – The Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 4080 Super make for a powerful combo, perfect for gaming and recording at high resolutions.
✔ Plenty of RAM – 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 is great for gaming, streaming, and video editing.
✔ Efficient Cooling – The Corsair iCUE H150i is more than enough to keep your CPU temps under control.
✔ High-Quality PSU – A 1000W 80+ Gold PSU is overkill, but leaves room for future upgrades.

Potential Improvements​

1. CPU Choice: Ryzen 7 9700X vs. Ryzen 7 7800X3D​

• If your focus is gaming, the 7800X3D ($369.99) outperforms the 9700X in most games due to 3D V-Cache.
• If you also do heavy rendering, video editing, or productivity tasks, the 9700X is fine.
• The 7800X3D runs cooler & uses less power, making it easier to cool.

2. SSD Upgrade: Crucial P310 → P5 Plus or Samsung 980 Pro​

• The Crucial P310 is an older Gen3 drive, not Gen4. Your motherboard supports PCIe 4.0, so you should get a Gen4 NVMe SSD for better speeds.
  • Recommended SSDs:
    • Crucial P5 Plus 1TB ($79.99, PCIe 4.0, 6600MB/s)
    • Samsung 980 Pro 1TB ($89.99, PCIe 4.0, 7000MB/s)

3. HDD for Recording: Seagate IronWolf vs. WD Black​

• IronWolf is a NAS drive, which is not optimized for gaming/recording.
• Consider a WD Black 4TB ($119.99) or Seagate Barracuda 4TB ($99.99) for better performance.
• Alternatively, go for a larger SSD (2TB+ Gen4 NVMe) for faster read/write speeds when handling large recordings.

4. Case Airflow Considerations​

• The Corsair 4000D Airflow is great, but ensure you have at least 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan.
• If the 4080 Super runs hot, consider extra case fans like the Noctua NF-A12x25 or Corsair AF120 Elite.

5. Power Supply: 1000W Might Be Overkill​

• RTX 4080 Super + 9700X/7800X3D needs ~650W-750W.
• 850W PSU is plenty, but if you plan on future GPU upgrades, then 1000W is fine.

Final Verdict​

✅ If you stick with the current build, it will work great for gaming & recording.
💡 If you want more optimization, I suggest:

• Swapping 9700X → 7800X3D for better gaming.
• Upgrading SSD to Crucial P5 Plus / Samsung 980 Pro for faster speeds.
• Changing HDD to a WD Black for better game & recording performance.
• Checking case cooling for lower GPU/CPU temps.

Would you like recommendations for fans or a larger NVMe storage option?
