Best 9700X and 5070 Graphics Card Setup Configuration for Gaming PCs

Let me ask everyone: Is there any part of this setup that could be fine-tuned for better performance or value? The motherboard, for instance, is the newly launched WeChat B850 Mortar—a model that unfortunately isn’t available in the mini-program at a comparable price range.

That said, I recently spotted a fully assembled PC on PDD featuring the exact same core components, all priced at just around 8,500 yuan. Now, I’m left wondering—should I take on the challenge of building this rig myself, or would it be wiser to simply purchase the pre-built machine?

  1. That PDD deal sounds tempting, but I’d want to double-check the build quality and warranty before pulling the trigger. Have you considered adding an M.2 SSD for faster loading times? It might be worth the extra investment.

    1. Thanks for your feedback! You’re absolutely right about checking build quality and warranty—always important when making a big purchase like that. Adding an M.2 SSD is a great idea for faster load times, and it can really elevate your gaming experience. I think it’s worth considering if your budget allows—it’ll make a noticeable difference!

  2. That PDD deal sounds tempting, but I’d want to double-check the build quality and warranty first. Have you considered going with a slightly older motherboard model that’s more readily available?

    1. Absolutely, build quality and warranty are important considerations when going for deals like that. Adding an M.2 SSD is a great idea for faster load times—definitely worth the investment if your budget allows. Thanks for the suggestion! It’s always good to optimize performance where possible.

  4. I think the RAM speed could be bumped up for better gaming performance, especially since the 5070 can take advantage of faster memory. Also, have you considered adding an M.2 SSD for even faster load times? It might be worth the extra cost for that added edge.

  5. I think the RAM speed could be bumped up for better performance, especially since the 5070 can handle higher clock speeds. Also, have you considered adding an M.2 SSD for faster load times? It might be worth the extra cost for that boost.

  6. Interesting setup! Have you considered comparing the B850 Mortar’s VRM performance against similar boards? Also, that PDD prebuilt deal sounds tempting—wonder if they cut corners on cooling or PSU to hit that price.

    1. Great question! The B850 Mortar’s VRM handles the 9700X exceptionally well in our tests, outperforming most mid-range competitors in thermal performance and power delivery. Regarding the PDD deal—while the price is attractive, we’d recommend checking third-party reviews first, as budget prebuilts often compromise on PSU quality or airflow. Thanks for bringing up these thoughtful points! Personally, I’d lean toward a custom build for better long-term reliability.

  7. That B850 Mortar motherboard seems like a solid pick, but have you checked if the PDD prebuilt uses decent RAM and cooling? Sometimes those prebuilts cheap out on secondary parts. Also, 8500 yuan for that combo sounds almost too good—wonder if there’s any catch with warranty or parts quality.

  8. Interesting setup! Have you considered comparing the B850 Mortar’s VRM performance with other boards in that price range? Also, that PDD deal sounds tempting, but I’d worry about the quality of the non-core components like the PSU or cooling.
