I'm gearing up to build my second PC and I'm really excited! I had a blast with my first build, but I'm not super tech-savvy. I've spent some time making sure all the components I picked work together, but I'm worried I might have missed something important. My budget is around $2,500 and I'm sharing the build list for feedback. Any thoughts or suggestions on what I could improve or add? Here's the link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d3d82x

Skip the 4070 Ti Super for that price. It's not even close to its original MSRP. You can find the 5070 Ti for about $830, which outperforms the 4070.
Why a B650 motherboard? At your price range, a B850 or B650E might be worth looking into for future-proofing. Since you’re not overclocking, the B650 is fine, but keep the future in mind!
Honestly, you probably don't need a 360mm AIO cooler for the Ryzen 9 9800X3D. If you’re okay with air cooling, something like a Phantom Spirit will work just fine. Also, have you considered that the 4070 Ti you’re eyeing for $1,100 is quite overpriced? The 5070 Ti often goes for around $750 and will give you better value for your build.
Get an SSD from a brand known for reliability, and think about getting a case with better airflow. The AIO you’re looking at isn’t the only option, and there are cheaper, high-quality ones out there. Seriously, skip the 4070 Ti Super—go for a 5070 Ti or even stretch for a 5080 if you can.
