What is your budget and what country?

The cpu/gpu looks reasonable.
Some thoughts:

Buy 2 x 16gb of ram up front. Some games need more than 16gb and when streaming or otherwise multitasking you need more than minimum.
Adding ram later may not work; ram must be from a single matched kit to run at advertised speeds

Keep it simple, buy a single 2tb m.2 pcie ssd.

Your case looks like a good one for air cooling.

I think your psu is inadequate in power and warranty.

Your cpu can handle a much stronger graphics card in the future.
For that reason, buy a quality 850w psu with at least a 7 year warranty, preferably 10 years.

Hey there,

It's older tech, but still pretty decent. Your good at 1080p Ultra for new AAA. Although Unreal Engine 5 is a hog, and any games running with that engine do struggle a little on what is otherwise strong gaming system. It will play other games at 1440p with high/ultra settings too.

A newer build with choice parts might come in about the same cost with a couple of cutbacks. It would at least offer a route to upgrade the PC in a year or two with new CPU/GPU and/or faster ram.

Trying keep it around 700 usd, trying to use black friday to my advantage.

I was trying to use what i have when it comes to storage but i do agree it is better to just get a bigger m.2 and i thought the same for ram. What would you recommend as a stronger graphics card.

What would recommend for some choice parts as you said

As far as gpu on a budget I’d suggest the rx 6800. Still a last gen card but should be a bit ahead of the 6750xt.

I also agree probably you want a good 850 watt or better power supply.

This would be a good psu. I’ve got one of these in my pc. I think it’s in tier A on the psu tier list.

Your cpu should be around 200 which should leave just about enough for a budget case and other components give or taketake.

This is a little over budget but I don't know what you already have.

Going with the 1TB NVMe will save about $40. The 750W version of the PSU will save about $10.

Well, I think going for a newer system will benefit now and in the future.

So something like this to start your system with and build what you have around it.

This will game and stream. It also has an upgrade path with probably two more cycles of CPU's for that platform.

Would my be quiet! cpu cooler be enough/work or would it be worth it to upgrade just because i just bought this one but regardless thanks for the list

The Pure Rock 2 (150W TDP cooler) is enough for the 5700X (88W PPT). You just need to be sure you have the mounting bracket for AM4.

You could save some money on that by going with an 8700F instead of the 7700X.

This bundle from Newegg might be a good way to go for some of the components. https://www.tomshardware.com/deskto...s-motherboard-and-32gb-of-ram-for-only-usd299

Note that you might want a better cooler for the 5700X3D as that is a 142W PPT CPU so your current cooler would have it running a bit hot.
