Looks like a good build! A few questions first before we can suggest changes. What is your budget/ max you're willing to spend? What monitor are you currently using/ plan to use (either make and model or resolution AND refresh rate)? And you said your PC is for gaming but what sort of games will you be playing?

but the 3070 is only 8gb ram that is not enough.
It’s 8GB of VRAM and it certainly is enough lol, don’t get hung up on VRAM. A 3070 will play 1440p warzone on pretty much maxed settings and get you 140fps. Dial down a few settings and the 3060ti will be a fantastic 1440p card.

i would think 16gb would be a solid state cause 8 would be struggling with the cpu espically if streaming and how big the game is

I think you need to re-read the spec closely... there is 16GB of 3200MHz RAM on that.

yes but i am talking about my graphics card
That isn’t what VRAM does. RAM is memory for your cpu, VRAM is basically the same but for your graphics card. You could have 500TB of VRAM and it wouldn’t make a difference. Cod maxed i think is 7.5GB VRAM usage.

Im not sure youve got a full grasp on how GPU's work, but I can promise you if you think the 3070 isnt up to it, then the 3060 def wouldnt be.... as mentioned, the 3070 is a higher performing card, if the 3060 was superior, they would be labelled the other way around.

VRAM is a completely different kettle of fish to RAM

okay but this is what i am saying. the games i am playing is very big and the ram of the graphics card is not that much
