Looking to build a new pc within the next couple months. This is what im looking to get so far. If you guys have any recommended changes or upgrades that I should swap in for for 100 dollars range per part let me know. I mainly play fps games with some single player story games thrown in. and will be gaming at 1440p. (not quite sure if there's a better MOBO option out there, wifi not needed.)
feel like the cooler is overkill and there might be a better option for me
Also very open to case suggestions. Currently have my Fractal and i love it, but wanted something new
Monitor will be bought later on.

Thanks for the suggestions, ill dive into those changes. Only one I see i wouldn't consider is the CPU, just because I can get the 5800x for the same price as the 5700x. Unless there is a reason to consider the 5700x over the 5800x for the same price that I don't know about.

Just saying, you have enough budget to go AM5. The problem with AM4 that the others recommend is that you have no upgrade path. 5800X3D is the best CPU you can get, and if you want to upgrade in the future, you must buy a new motherboard + RAM. And frankly, 5800X3D will be curbstomped pretty badly by Zen 5 or potentially Zen 6, as well.

Picking the parts. I'll post immediately here after I finish.

EDIT:


Only changed the CPU, CPU cooler, and RAM.

For the GPU, since you're going to buy the parts in the next couple of months, I think you can wait for a 7800 XT or something. It will cost $600 max with 72CU.

And lastly, just a suggestion, buy a cheaper case. There are lots of good cases below $100. There's no need for a $160 case.

That RAM in your build is going to be a bottleneck.

You can manually overclock it.

No. Ryzen 7000 hits a ceiling at 6000.
Future generations might be able to go to 6600, which is the motherboard's limit.

W1zzard over at TPU reviews any and all AM5 cpu's that are released and him along with Hooten over at Guru3D both have said in all those reviews that AM5 hits a ceiling at DDR5 6000. It's probably the same here at Tom's but I'm not about to go into their reviews until they get off their dead arses and put a drop down menu in their reviews.

Your comment implies that you don't know about the fact that you CAN overclock the timings of the RAM.

Yes, you can overclock the timings from CL46 to something like CL28.
 
i feel like DDr5 has not been proven as much, take into account my research on it has been minimal. and i feel with the ddr4 and previous build i will still get plenty of good years of gaming out of it. but im still strongly considering ddr5
