I'm building my first custom PC and I'd love some feedback on my chosen components! Here's what I've picked out so far:
- **CPU**: Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor for $315.54
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Black 66.17 CFM for $48.69
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX ATX LGA1700 for $199.99
- **Memory**: TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 for $92.99
- **Storage**: Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD for $149.99
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB, which I found for $969.99?
- **Case**: Antec C8 ATX Full Tower for $119.99
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular for $99.99
Overall, my total comes to $1996.18. I'm mostly using it for gaming, as I have a laptop for work and documents. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Your power supply choice is decent, but I’d suggest looking at the Vetroo or XPG Core Reactor models. They’re cheaper and have a great rating on PSU tier lists, so you could save some cash while still getting good performance!
I’d recommend considering an AMD processor this year; I've been hearing great things about how they outperform Intel right now. For just $80-100 more, you could grab the 7800x3d. It might save you in the long run if you don’t upgrade for a decade like I tend to do.
By the way, with that much VRAM, check out ComfyUI for local AI image modeling—it could be pretty fun!
Hey! First off, your build looks solid! Just to suggest, maybe think about what you'll be using it for more specifically. If it's mostly gaming, that's great!
Also, you might want to upgrade your storage down the line since games can take up a lot of space. But hey, that’s a minor issue since you can always add more later without breaking the bank!
Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I’m planning to focus mainly on gaming, which is why I went for the RTX 5070 Ti. And good point about the storage; I’ll keep that in mind for future upgrades.
