I'm watching all this for 1450 bucks (e: after taxes):

  • AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
  • AMD Radeon RX 7700XT 12GB
  • MSI B650 motherboard
  • Corsair 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
  • Corsair RMe 850W
  • 2TB NVMe
  • 360mm 320W liquid cooling

Is this a coherent build?

i think 7700 is like 5% worse, it's slightly downclocked or running eco mode constantly, something like that, it's actually reasonable get, but you should recheck reviews, cause i don't remember very well what was the deal with them and if they can be clocked back to full, or nah. Depending how much work you do, could be annoying enough to skip it or fine.

yeah, dunno, 8gb kinda dodgy for modern games, but if you do like decade old stuff might work (+it will definitely get worse for newer titles over time, the consoles target like 12 gb internally)

I see. The savings on the 7700 as it is in my case is pretty good for what I miss. I'll get the better memory on the gpu
