Alright, so I should get at least 1000W PSU if going for 5070TI. The budget I'm looking at would not more than 4k or is it too low for this GPU?

CPU-wise I'm looking at Ryzen 7 7700 or similar from other brands and I might go for 6TB total storage split between 1x 2TB SSD and 1x 4TB SSD with a spare additional slot if I need to increase storage for game mods. As for monitor, I'm looking at 1080p and 1440p.

Go for 7800x3d /w a X670 mb. U just nid to check the different PCIe spec for the Nvme on the mb.
Go for 1440p monitor since u using 5070Ti.

hmm.. brands are USA, manufacture from China. so what's the diff lol.. you should open up as some are really of good quality and does perform super well. I use KingBank rams they are using SK Hynix A or M die, I use case from Montech or Lian Li or even the new brand Okinos.. all made in China. infact most goods not make in USA, either Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and etc. Majority of PC Products are not made in USA at all.
Infact some China brands out perform USA brands. well that's just my opinion.

This I do agree. Infact does not matter what brand or what made. so long major parts, if you don't want to risk it. get locally, just make sure is from legit shops.

I'm not too concerned about place of manufacture, rather it's the ownership and origin or hq of the brand.

thanks, which brands are good for pc cooling then?
If you mean CPU Cooling, can get Phantom Spirit 120 via Taobao, cost like $30 or something. More than enough for 7700.

Motherboard cooling wise, no brand is known to only have good cooling. Lower tier motherboards will have worse cooling, so you want to go for mid range to high end motherboards if you want better VRM cooling. IMO I have had good experience with Gigabyte aorus elite motherboards, but if you need features like 5GbE, you will have to look elsewhere.

I like G.Skill DDR5 pricing on amazon.sg, Corsair is usually overpriced at $150-160+.

What alternatives are there to sourcing parts from all over so that I don't have to handle different warranties for each component? I read that Aftershock is not so good while Mansa Computers could be overpriced compared to elsewhere.
