Hey everyone! I'm really close to ordering parts for my new PC build and would love some feedback to ensure everything looks good. I'm trying to stay under 2,000 euros, and I've double-checked my list, but I appreciate any extra sets of eyes or opinions you all might have.
Here's the breakdown of my parts:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor (€489.00)
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Phantom Spirit 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler (€41.59)
- **Motherboard:** MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard (€200.99)
- **Memory:** Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (€129.90)
- **Storage:** Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 2 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (€152.90)
- **Video Card:** Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC SFF GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB (€826.99)
- **Case:** Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case (€89.98)
- **Power Supply:** Corsair RM850x (2024) 850 W Fully Modular PSU (€139.00)
I've also got two extra 120mm fans from my old computer that I'll be adding to the top. Prices include taxes and shipping, and I'm happy to make adjustments based on your suggestions. Thanks!

Just a heads-up, the Corsair 4000D Airflow case only has one 120mm fan in the front and one in the back. You might want to rearrange them for better airflow. If you're open to suggestions, the Lian Li Lancool 216 is cheaper and comes with two 160mm front fans and a 140mm back fan. To save some cash, consider downgrading the RAM and the WD Black drive too. Also, remember that the MSI motherboard will need a BIOS update to work with your CPU. If that's a hassle, look for another motherboard that supports the 9800X3D right out of the box. The PSU you picked is solid; I have the 1000W version and love it! [Alternative Build](https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/Hg6xKq)
Thanks for that info! I appreciate it! So, if I understand correctly, the motherboard should only need a BIOS flash if it's an older version, right? The Amazon description mentions it supports the 9000 series, but I’ll keep your point in mind. As for the case, I thought it came with two front fans! Thanks for catching that. I might also consider the CL36 version of the Corsair RAM to save a bit. Really appreciate the help!

No problem! It sounds like you're on the right track. Just be sure to check the specs for the motherboard to confirm compatibility, and good luck with the build!
