Hey everyone! I'm working on a PC build and would love some feedback. Here's what I'm planning to include:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core at 3.9GHz for $156
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Frozen Infinity 240 ARGB 240mm for $47.90
- **Motherboard:** ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi Micro ATX for $130
- **RAM:** TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 for $86.99
- **Storage:** Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe Gen 5 for $74.98
- **GPU:** RTX 5070 Ti 16GB for $750 (please, GPU gods, bless me!)
- **Case:** Jonsbo Jonsplus Z20 MicroATX for $99
- **PSU:** MSI MAG A850GL PCIe5 850W 80+ Gold (Fully Modular) for $121.99
- **Case Fans:** 3 x Thermalright TL-M12R 120mm for about $7.29 each
Total cost comes to around $1488.73.
I'm aiming for light 4K gaming, some AI ML tasks, using Blender, and general engineering work. Did I miss anything significant?

Where did you find a 5070 Ti for $750? That's pretty good! Just a heads-up, the Radeon RX 9070 XT goes for about $719 and might be a solid alternative if you're okay with changing brands.
Yeah, they're showing up all over the place now. Why settle for the slightly more expensive option if the 9070 is available?
Your build looks solid! Don’t forget that the 9070 XT is generally a cheaper option. But if you’re leaning towards Nvidia, that's totally understandable since they have great features like frame generation.
Exactly! I really like the frame generation feature on Nvidia cards. It might not be for everyone, but I don’t notice any downsides in my friend's PC with the 5070 Ti.
I found one at my Walmart nearby, picking it up today. It's the PNY model. Seems like a decent deal!
