New Gaming Build for a average builder

Options

My gaming rig is quite outdated and I'm getting the itch to build a Next Gen gaming rig. Below is what I've purchased so far and my idea for the build. I'm looking to play Starfield & Baldur Gate 3 at a decent resolution. It does not have to be max everything, but my current rig is struggling to run them at low resolution, so an improvement is needed. I wanted to see what everyone's opinion on the build is. I'm tryin to keep the build under $2.300 if possible.

Purchased:

  • NZXT H5 Elite Case
  • Intel Core i7-13700K Raptor Lake 3.4GHz Sixteen-Core LGA 1700
  • ASUS Z790-P PRIME WiFi Intel LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard
  • G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000

Planned Items to be Purchased:

  • Inland Performance Plus 2TB 3D TLC NAND PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2
  • Corsair RMx Series RM850x 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold
  • Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT 360mm All in One Liquid CPU Cooling Kit
  • ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 TUF Triple Fan Overclocked 12GB 
  • Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-Bit

    Greetings,

    I do not see any issues with your choices, those parts would all be compatible and would fit well into your price range. For the graphics card, at pretty much the same price you might want to look into the RTX 4070 Super that just released, it's pretty much the same price point dependent on model with improved performance.
