I'm a first-time builder and I've always purchased pre-built systems, but I'm really excited to put together my ultimate gaming setup. I want to confirm that all the parts I'm planning to use will fit in my case and work together correctly. Here are the components I've selected:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16-Core, 32-Thread, 4.3GHz base / 5.7GHz boost)
- **CPU Cooler:** ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 AIO (top-mounted)
- **Motherboard:** MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX (AM5, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4)
- **GPU:** ASUS TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 5090 32GB
- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- **Storage:** Corsair MP700 PRO 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD
- **Power Supply:** NZXT C1500W 80+ Platinum Fully Modular ATX
- **Case:** Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO XL ATX Full Tower (Black or White)
- **Operating System:** Windows 11 Pro OEM 64-bit (DVD Version)
For cooling, I plan to use 10 fans total to ensure great airflow, with some on intake and others on exhaust. I would really appreciate any advice on whether these parts will work well together!

Everything looks good to me! Just be prepared—these are pricey components for a first build. Take your time assembling it; maybe set aside a whole day for it. The O11 EVO XL case is spacious, so fitting everything in should be pretty straightforward.
You should definitely run your build through pcpartpicker.com. It'll help you check compatibility and compare prices. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a powerhouse, but if gaming is your main goal, a 9800X3D might save you some cash. Same with the RTX 5090—considering a 5080 might be better value since it's still great for 4K gaming. Plus, your 1500W PSU is way more than you'll need; a 1000W or even 1200W should suffice!
I appreciate the tips! I actually have all the parts already, just got a bit anxious about it all fitting.
Thanks for the encouragement! I might just reach out to a local shop to help me assemble it. Excited!
