Question Gaming build. Please review.

[Wetles89]

I am setting up my first rig since 2015 and after a long consideration, I've landed on the following components:

CPU: AMD 5 7600(non X, should I worry about bottlenecking the GPU at 1440p?)
Motherboard: MSI B650 gaming PLUS WIFI (I wont be overclocking) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB6XZ7RH?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 5600MHz 32GB Dual Channel
GPU: TUF Gaming 7900xtx OC
Harddrive: Kingston KC3000 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD 2TB
Case: Fractal North Charcoal Black Mesh Mid Tower (it looks stunning, but i do worry about space for the GPU. TUF is 35.29cm and the case has a limit at 35.5cm)
Monitor: Philips 27" Curved gamingmonitor 27M1C5500VL/00 (164Hz, 1ms, freesync)
PSU: Corsair RMe Series RM850e https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rm85...&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-MYKDt7Q0P49TH3XDKPMzTw

Any help and suggestions are very much appreciated!

In my opinion, rx 7900 xtx is wayyyy overkill for 1440p currently.
Which doesnt take away the fact that the more power the card is, the longer it will last.
If you do aim for 165FPS on 144Hz in all games, then go for it.
If you aim for 165FPS in FPS games, like CSGO, or Valorant for example, and are fine with less fps in more demanding AAA titles, you can go with a cheaper card and upgrade the rest of the system:

I would get the new RX 7800 XT, perfect card for 1440p and 4K gaming, which will not absolutely break your budget. They are not in stock currently, as they literally released 2 days ago, but they will run for $550-600 (kr6000) depending on the model, which leaves room for a better CPU.
7800x3D is one of the best CPU's for gaming right now, although it wont have to work as much since gaming on 1440p uses the GPU more than the CPU. You didnt mention an aftermarket cooler, so i added a beautiful AIO to keep the CPU cool and add more aesthetic to your system. Ofcourse, you can go for smth like Noctua NH-D15S, if you are into air coolers, which will be cheaper, but still keep your CPU pretty cool. Changed the ram to a slightly faster kit, also matches the AIO, so you can sync them together to shine together.

This gives you AMD Expo RAM. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan.

Thank you so much for all your input! The 7900xtx might be a bit too much i see that now. The new 7800xt is out of stock here in Norway, looks for a little while. I can wait, but i am also looking at the 6950xt model as it performes just as good by the looks of things.

Thats true, the 6950xt and 7800XT are similar in performance, see what you can find in ur shops, in the end its ur decision.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

the 6950XT is slightly better. but with increased power draw...

Nothing the RMe or RMx series cant handle.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

true. I was talking more about the 6950XT consistently outperforming the 7800XT in all the games.
