Hey everyone! I've put together some components for my first gaming PC build, but I'm not sure if I've chosen the best parts. I might have overdone it on some items and skimped on others. Can anyone help me optimize this build to maximize performance while staying close to my budget of $2000? I included some RGB parts, but feel free to swap those out. Thanks a ton! Here's my current selection: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pX72cx

I noticed the case you picked is quite pricey. Cases are super personal, so it’s up to you if you want to splurge there. Here’s a build suggestion that includes a decent case but is overall less expensive: [Build List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/68tXrM).
**Total Cost:** $1879.72
Your PC build isn’t bad for a first attempt! If you can stretch your budget to $2000, I recommend upgrading to the 9800X3D and 5070Ti for gaming performance. Here’s a link to a revised build: [My Suggestions](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Pr9mC). I replaced a few parts with better options without sacrificing quality, like the AIO cooler and PSU. You did really well overall!
Thank you a lot for the suggestions!
For around $2000, I suggest going for the 9800X3D and a 5070Ti. Your current 7800X3D and non-Ti 5070 look a bit off considering the budget. Here’s a revised build that’s actually $50 cheaper and gives you a better CPU and GPU. You might be overpaying for the cooler, motherboard, and PSU.

Lmao it’s my first build and I guess I got too excited! Thanks for the help!
I mainly picked that case because it ships to my country. If you’ve got other recommendations that would fit all my parts, please share! Thanks!
