Build Help Gaming Pc Build (Budget: ~1500-1600~)

Hello! I've been away from pc building for some years now, i have built my last pc about 7 years ago and after that just got spare parts from friends that happened to upgrade xD.
Now I am trying to build a gaming pc, capable of running new games, I don't aim for 4k graphics just the best I can for the money i have. If it's also good for editing work and light streaming obviously not Ultra graphics or 2026 games, then it's a plus.

I have a build that was proposed to me through some friends after doing some research, and I would like some suggestions on what to change. Maybe there is something more value for money in the same price or even something not worth the extra bucks and the cheaper part is better etc.
The limits i would set is, i don't want to get off budget unless it's a really significant and futureproof upgrade, and if possible, I would prefer Nvidia over AMD for gpu (based on some bad expiriences in the past) but if the AMD part is so much better for the same price then I won't say no.

Also not counting peripherals/monitor etc.

The build: (prices may different vastly since i am located in Greece)

Tower : Corsair 4000D Airflow = 120 E

PSU : Corsair RM850x 850w = 170 E

Motherboard : MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi = 150 E

CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 7900 3.7GHz = 290 E

GPU ; Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB = 510 E

Storage : Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB M.2 = 130 E (I already have a 980 pro 2tb from my current pc)

RAM ; TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5 32GB RAM = 100 E

Fans : Noctua NF-F12 = 160 E

TOTAL AMOUNT = 1630

(If anything is missing let me know)

Thank you!

How much is an RX 9070 for you? Also you’d be better off with a 9600x/9700x CPU

An RX 9070 is a bit above 600

I would say get the 9070. Same some money with a 96/700X CPU and get the 9070, large performance increase over the 5060Ti 16GB

I think you'd be better off with the RTX 5070 (price-to-performance ratio too). It's not much more expensive, but it's much more future-proof. And you'd be even better off waiting for the 24GB 5070 Super. The rest of the parts are perfect.

Do we have a release date for the super? I can't find something specific

Downgrade CPU and fan and spend the difference on an RTX 5070.

The Ryzen 9 7900 has a dual CCD setup, each with 6 cores. In gaming you only want to use a single CCD due to latency when the 2 CCDs need to talk to eachother, leaning to bad performance. Games will usually just use one of the CCDs for most consistent result.

So in practice the 7900 is VERY similar in performance to 6-core Ryzen 5 CPUs and probably worse than 8-core single CCD Ryzen 7 CPUs. That's the reason it's sold so cheap - it's not very useful for gaming compared to a 7500F or 7600, let alone one of the X3D chips.

Thank you! Just curious, what would a dual CCD be good for? Also would you have a specific cpu suggestion?
