Hey everyone! I'm planning a new PC build and I'm looking for some feedback before I finalize everything. My build is mainly for music production (using DAWs and digital synths) and gaming. I have a Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD that I want to use for storage, along with a Crucial P3 Plus SSD just for the OS. I'm aware I need to pick up an extra fan for the back, and I have a strategy in mind to reposition the case fans for better airflow. Here's the link to my build: [PCPartPicker](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/BbnYDj). I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether I'm missing anything or if there's a way to get more value out of my choices!

You might want to check out Techfast. They have a prebuilt setup with a 9800x3d and a 5070 ti for only $2548 AUD. It could be worth looking at if you want something ready-made instead of building it yourself!
I suggest swapping out the GPU for an RTX 5070. It gives you better performance for both music production and gaming!
Just a heads-up about the Crucial P3 Plus—it's using QLC flash, which has lower durability. If you use it for your OS, it could get sluggish over time. The Samsung 970 EVO Plus is a much better choice for your OS since it uses TLC flash and has DRAM cache.
Do you have any specific brands in mind? I've heard that Gigabyte balances cost and reliability pretty well.
