Good or overkill for games on the highest setting like Elden Ring, Dead By Daylight, Baldur's Gate 3, and Hunt: Showdown.

This will be my second build. I'm currently running into issues with my first build that would include getting a better fan, more RAM, and more storage. Currently running Radeon 5700XT for reference to my gaming experience over the last 5 or 6 years. It's overall slowing down as well.

I would build it like this for 200 bucks less

KhaoticNature@reddit (OP)

I already have one of the Asus TUF Gaming. So I was going to buy another to keep it consistent, but I might just get one of the Dell monitors if that better allows me to get the RX 7900 XTX.
The only question I have is the possible lack of airflow within the smaller case. Would the fan be able to move the heat fast enough?

Yep, all good.
