Quick feedback on my PC-build draft

So I'm looking to build a gaming pc. I want it to run most games good at 1080p but higher resolution is also appreciated. I mostly play games such as cities skylines, simulators and indie games, all be it, sometimes highly modded. So not really the newest shooters etc. Below you van find my PC-specs (draft). I'd like someones input on the performance. Is it future-proof? overpowerd or underpowerd? is it balanced? Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. You didnt include a price for this, but I can give some general comments.

- CPU could drop to an I5 13600(k) and you wouldnt notice a difference.

- You probably dont need a soundcard, unless you are doing specialized audio stuff.

- Thats a bad choice of PSU for this level of build, very old design internally that will not be good for your components over time. Also only a 3 year warranty. If sticking with Corsair check out teh RM(x) series.

- RTX 3070 is a good card, but potentially look into somethign with more than 8GB of VRAM with teh savings from the CPU and soundcard.

If youre willing to build yourself, post up your country and maximum budget for the build and someone will have a better option for you for sure.

If its a pre-built, and you dont want to build yourself. It will work fine but it kind of depends what you are paying and what other options there are.

Thanks for the repy! So I think I'm going the AMD route. Due to the intel being end-of-line and AMD potentially being more future-proof. Right know i have the following configuration, any point of improvement? Where I live this will come around 1500 bucks including building costs etc.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8 Core (3,8 GHz-5,3 GHz/40 MB CACHE/AM5)
ASUS® PRIME B650-PLUS (DDR5, USB 3.2, 6 Gb/s) -
32 GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 5600MHz (2 x 16 GB)
12 GB AMD RADEONTM RX 6700 XT - HDMI, DP - DX® 12
2 TB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS SSD
CORSAIR 650 W TXm SERIES

Thats a better build IMO. Good chance that you could drop in a CPU upgrade in a few years if AMD sticks with the same CPU socket. Be aware theres no guarantee of that though.

Get a case with decent airflow to go with it. I'd recommend something with a mesh front with at least 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust.

Is this a UK build?
