Hey everyone! I'm excited to share that I'm building my first computer from scratch. My current setup is running on a GTX 1060 Super and an i7-6700, but it's time for an upgrade! Here are the parts I've chosen and I'd love to hear your thoughts on them, especially about how well they fit together:
- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 Black
- ASRock B850M Pro RS
- Corsair VENGEANCE 64GB
- 1TB M.2 NVMe Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD
- GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT
- CORSAIR 4000D Airflow case
- ATX MSI Mag A750GL power supply
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback!

If you're worried about cost, there are some cheaper SSD options with good performance: check out the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or the WD Blue SN580. Also, for the CPU, you don't necessarily need water cooling unless you’re after the looks; a cooler like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 would suffice.
Honestly, using pcpartpicker.com would make your life so much easier. You can see prices, check compatibility, and edit your list easily. Also, you've got an mATX motherboard in an ATX case—something to think about. A 360mm cooler looks cool but a good $30 dual tower air cooler would do just as well!
I’m not sure why the Samsung 990 EVO Plus is so popular, it’s really pricey! You might want to look into Crucial or WD SSDs instead—they're cheaper and just as reliable. Also, the Corsair 4000D case isn’t the best for a 360mm AIO cooler; you might have to mount it in the front, which isn't optimal. Consider upgrading your PSU to at least 850W for some extra future-proofing; the Super Flower Leadex III is a solid choice!
