Hey everyone! I'm trying to put together my first PC build, and I could really use your input. I used ChatGPT to help me choose the parts based on my budget, but I want to know if this setup can handle FPS gaming and streaming smoothly. Here's the link to my parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z7yyMC. If you have suggestions for better or cheaper components, I'm all ears! I appreciate any help you can offer! 🙂
The main goal is to be able to stream and play new games without any hiccups. Thanks!

Update! I saw that many of you suggest a different graphics card. I currently have the PNY OC GeForce RTX 5070 for $550, but the RTX 5070 Ti is listed at $750. Why is it worth the extra money? What are the benefits of switching? Thanks for your feedback!
You definitely don’t need a Ryzen 7 7800X3D for the RTX 5070. A Ryzen 7 9700X would work just fine and save you some cash. I'd also suggest looking at the KLEVV FIT V 32GB RAM with CL30 at 6000MHz; it's cheaper and performs better than what you have now.

Honestly, you might want to downgrade your motherboard to something around $160. I'm not sure about your RAM; it's decent, but if you can spend a little more for lower latency (like switching to CL30), it would be worth it. The rest of your setup looks pretty solid to me!
Any specific motherboard you'd recommend?
Your build seems a bit off balance; you could definitely improve it with some tweaks. For example, consider a different CPU cooler that costs around $35 and would work great. Your motherboard could also be switched to a more budget-friendly option for around $150. Overall, these changes should optimize performance without breaking the bank!
I used your case for my build! Do you think it could fit all my new components comfortably, or will it be cramped?

Can you share a link for that RAM? It's hard to find on PCPartPicker.
