Hey everyone! I'm new to building PCs and I've picked out some parts for my first setup. I'd love your thoughts on whether my choices are good or if there's anything I should change. Here's what I've got:
- **GPU**: Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT
- **CPU**: Ryzen 5 9600X
- **Motherboard**: MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi
- **SSD**: WD Black SN7100 2TB
- **RAM**: G.Skill Flare X5 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
- **Cabinet**: DeepCool Matrexx 55 Mesh V4 or Lian Li Lancool 216 (depending on stock)
- **PSU**: MSI MAG A850GL 850W Gold
- **Cooler**: DeepCool AG620 ARGB
I'm still trying to decide on a mechanical keyboard, preferably 10 keyless, so any recommendations would be awesome too! Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Your build looks solid! I think you're on the right track. Just double-check if the memory you picked is CL30; it should be fine. Considering the pricing, you might look into getting a 5070 Ti as well since both graphics cards have had similar pricing lately. However, the 9070 XT has been performing better with the latest driver updates. Overall, you’ve done well!
If you're open to suggestions, here's my alternative build:
1. AMD Ryzen 5 7600 for the CPU
2. Sapphire Pure RX 9060 XT 16GB for the graphics card
3. MSI B650M Gaming WiFi for the motherboard
4. TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 32GB DDR5 6000MHz for RAM
5. WD Green SN350 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD for storage
6. DeepCool AK400 White for the cooler
7. DeepCool PM650D 650W 80+ Gold for PSU
8. Ant Esports Crystal Z2 White case
9. Two additional ARGB fans for cooling
I’m a bit tight on budget, so I’d appreciate any feedback on this list!
Where I live, the 5070 Ti is a bit pricier than the 9070 XT, so I totally get the choice. Your memory is on point too!
