Hi all,

I have been wanting to play Baldur’s Gate in 1440p and I’m not too sure what would be the best setup.

I have a budget of $1,500, but if there is anything I can cut which is not necessary, then that’d be great, too.

I don’t need to spend the full budget exactly.

Here is my PCPartPicker Part List.

I have a Microcenter near my area, so the CPU+Motherboard+Ram is cheaper than the PCPartPicker List.

My understanding is the 7800X3D is the best CPU and Baldur’s Gate is more towards the CPU than GPU.

I’m thinking I can get a better priced SSD and downgrade the 4070 GPU and 850W PSU.

For my case fans, I heard Arctic P12 is good as well as Noctua and Thermaltake, but I’m not sure what to decide between them or if there’s an alternative that’s better.

Any help would be appreciated!
