If you’re getting a 7800x3d you can also go for a slightly older mobo, I’d recommend a x670, or b650 rather than an a series Mobo

I don’t know the Canadian market well, so I’ll just attempt to guide you, but I’d recommend going for whichever x3d AMD CPU you can find, be it the 5700x3d or 7k series, etc. That’ll boost your fps by about 20fps across the board.

Next you might want to look into 6950xt (or 6900xt) or check on your 7900 XT/Xtx the Xtx is 1-3% better then the 9070 XT outside of ray racing, but should be a little cheaper.

My build is a 5800x3d and 6950xt with a 1k watt power supply. This gets me around 100 fps ray tracing off, on c2077, and bg3 ran great, both on high/Max settings at 1440p.

Hope that helps with your build.

One more, the 5000 series would require a different mobo
