Is this a balanced build for gaming?

Great thanks this is definaitely a better build to the one i did have and has a lot more future proofing, however I do have a few questions.

1. What do you think about lowering the speed of the RAM to save a small amount of money, would this be worth it, could the money be saved elsewhere or is this as economical as the build can get?
2. Will the graphics card still perform aswell as the 4070 or is it limited by things such as ray-tracing and DLSS (or AMDs version)?
3. Will the fans included with the LIAN LI LANCOOL be enough?
No, don't lessen the speed of the RAM. 6000MHz is where Ryzen 7000 performs at its best, though I doubt the timings here are top-end, unfortunately.

It's similar in performance to the 4070, probably a little ahead (if you look at reviews, they're from release day: the 7800 XT has got a little faster and the 4070 a chunk slower), but ray-tracing is inferior, and FSR (AMD's DLSS equivalent) is decent, but not as good and, AFAIK, not quite as prevalent. That said, realistically with a 70-tier card, you're not turning ray-tracing on; it's just not worth the loss of frames.

I would expect this to be ample fans, yes.

Yes and it said not to ammend your post but to leave a comment with the extra info underneath so that's what i did. Again, this is my first time using this forum so im not entirely sure what i'm meant to be doing.
Thanks for confirming, appreciate it (y) I was worried thatit wasn’t displaying correctly for some people

Okay great thanks, I think I will go with this build as it is much better in terms of future proofing and maybe even performance for the same money. Thanks a lot it has been much appreciated.
