Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my own PC but I'm not very experienced in this area. Here are the specs I'm considering, and I'd love your feedback. I want to know if there are any bad or incompatible parts in my build. The total cost comes to about $1370 after taxes and everything. Here are the components:
- Asus B650 TUF-E Gaming Wi-Fi & Bluetooth + RYZEN 5 7600
- Crucial T500 Pro 7300MB/s Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
- G.SKILL FLARE X5 DDR5 6000MHz CL28 AMD EXPO Kit 32GB
- Powercolor AMD Radeon Fighter RX7800XT 16GB OC Triple Fan GDDR6
- Silverstone DA850R-850W ATX3.0 Black 80+ Gold Full Modular PSU
- TR Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB Dual Heatsink Cooler
- Cooler Master Elite 502 ARGB Black TG Case
Thanks for any advice you can give!

It really comes down to what you're planning to do with your PC. If it’s primarily for gaming, your parts look pretty solid, but you might want to consider a stronger CPU like the AMD 9700X or even the 9800X3D for serious gaming. Also, upgrading the GPU to something more powerful like the AMD 9070 or 9070XT could make it more future-proof. That way, you'd be set for at least 5 years!
Thanks for the insights! Just to clarify, I am focusing on gaming with some streaming on the side. I usually use a 1440p monitor, but 1080p is fine too. I'm also considering either the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or the Ryzen 7 9700X for the CPU. Any thoughts on which one is better? The 9700X would put me at $1548, and the 7800X3D would be $1583.
