I'm thinking about building my own PC and want to make sure my parts list looks good before I commit to buying everything. I've included a link to my build here: [PCPartPicker Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w79VzP). I already have two NVME SSDs for storage, and I'm going for an all-white aesthetic. Right now, I have a 2021 NZXT prebuilt with a 3070, and I want to upgrade. Any thoughts or recommendations?

Hey! Honestly, your build seems solid, but I’d recommend swapping the x870 motherboard for a b850 or x670e. You could also change the PSU to an 850W model. With the money you save, consider upgrading the RAM to 6000MHz CL30 instead of CL36. It’ll make a noticeable difference! Also, maybe think about the 9800X3D instead of the 7800X3D for better performance.
So after taking your advice and making some changes, I managed to save about $120! I’ve updated the parts list—here's the new link: [Updated Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gBqcKq). Thanks for the suggestions!
If you want to save a bit more, I found this alternative build that might help! It's built around the RTX 5080 with some really good components at decent prices. You can check it out [here](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LhptTM).
I like what's laid out here! Just be cautious with your PSU—getting a reliable 850W would be the way to go. And those case fans seem a bit overpriced; you might find better deals elsewhere. But overall, it looks like a fun project!
Definitely check out Lian Li PSUs. They’re pretty great quality!
Your build looks absolutely stunning! The all-white theme is going to look sleek. Just a heads up though, I’ve heard mixed things about those AIO coolers from less known brands. Plus, definitely try to go with CL30 RAM—it's worth it for the performance.
I totally agree! The CPU upgrade will give you more bang for your buck, especially for gaming.
