I'm piecing together a new gaming rig and want some input on my current build. Here's what I have so far:
- GPU: PNY RTX 5070 Ti
- Case: NZXT H9 Glow RGB+
- Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite 360.
I'm still searching for the right parts to finish it off, and I'm considering:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650E-WiFi ATX AM5
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 64GB (32x2)
- PSU: Corsair RM850X
- Storage: 2TB SSD.
My buddy suggested the remaining components, but I want to get more opinions. As a big gamer, I'll be diving into Battlefield 6 and some other high-quality titles. I'm giving my old rig to my girlfriend, so I'm hoping to keep costs under $1000 for the CPU and motherboard. Any thoughts?

It might help to throw your parts into a PCPartPicker list for easier reading and editing. Also, what's your budget looking like, and what resolutions are you planning to game at? If you're set on BF6 and high-end games, this build seems decent, but we could refine it!
Considering you've got a PCIe x5 GPU, you might want to look into a B850 board instead. Options like MSI B850 Gaming Plus WIFI, Gigabyte B850 Eagle WIFI, and others should work perfectly for the 9800X3D without a hitch. For the PSU, the Montech CENTURY II 850W Gold would do well, plus, swapping to a Western Digital Blue SN580 2TB SSD could improve performance. And if you're in the US, check out the Patriot Viper Elite RAM; it’s a solid deal if you want to grab two 16GB sticks.
Just a heads-up, the B650E supports PCIe 5.0 for M.2 slots and the x16 slot, which is essential. B850 boards have it as an optional feature, so you'd be future-proofing your build with the B650E.
[sorry i fixed the link LOL](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hGMch7) I'm focusing on Battlefield 6 along with some quality games like Red Dead 2. If possible, I’d like to hit below $1000 for the CPU and motherboard!
