Prices are in NOK, so divide by 10 and you get USD.
Prices are also after some price cuts (about 7% on average) as a package deal compared to their web prices.
It might be a bit more expensive for certain parts here in Norway, I'm not sure.

Basically, is this build fine? (I thought about going for the 4090 GPU, but I'll have to jump up 800 USD in price and I think maybe (?) the 4070ti will be good enough for now)

Also, I have a 4k screen from 2017 which was good back then, but limited at 60hz and 4ms latency.
Old screen: Asus Predator XB321HK
Is getting a new 144hz 4k screen unnecessary?

Finally, I have a mouse and keyboard from 2017 that I am decently happy with it.
Is it worth it to look into getting new ones?

I'll also be using this pc for 4k gaming, but maybe that could have been guessed.

I talked to some tech-seeming people and I think I might be better off getting a better GPU for 4k gaming (apparently I should aim for 16gb+ VRAM?)

So I'm thinking about getting the 4090 instead.

Some people also said that if I get the 4090 I should get a bigger powersupply, maybe 1500 watt.
I looked for a corsair 1500w and found this (platinum rated): https://www.komplett.no/product/1245622/datautstyr/pc-komponenter/stroemforsyning/enheter/corsair-hxi-series-hx1500i-1500w-psu

dunno if best option for the cost, but it'd run an extra 200 bucks over the one in the picture.

personally I would opt for the 4080 an just spend a few hundred more just to be a lil better with video memory, but I think the 4070ti is good enough for 4k especially with dlss u should be fine.

I went around and put down an order on the above, but I went for a better GPU and also higher wattage PSU. They had the one I linked in my 2nd post a lot cheaper on another site, but of course, as I was ready to order they sold out and I had to pay a bit more somewhere else -,-

My personal opinion:

Monitor: 240hz / O-LED instead if you don't wanna cough up 1k for the monitor, get a BenQ if you're a gamer.
Samsung relies alot on their brand these days not on the quality of their products I have to say.

Mainboard: Go with Gigabyte they have the best boards, believe it or not!

Case: up to you but I'm VERY VERY happy with my new NZXT H7 Flow.

GFX card: fine

Cpu Cooling: Go with Noctua instead of that AIO watercooler! gonna cost you 100$ but it's worth it and you'll have no issues over time.

Cpu: not sure what workloads you are doing, but you could surely get away with something less powerful unless you're rendering stuff.

NVME and Ram: can't go wrong with kingston or corsairs imo.

cheers, sh0.
