Hey everyone! I'm putting together my first gaming PC and would love your advice. Here's what I've got so far:
- Ncore 100 MAX case (350 EUR)
- AMD 7700X CPU (250 EUR)
- GIGABYTE X870I AORUS PRO Ice Motherboard (300 EUR)
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 AERO OC GPU (1200 EUR)
- Corsair Dominator DDR5 - 2x16GB - 6000MHZ at CL30 RAM (180 EUR)
- 990 PRO Samsung 2TB SSD (recycled from my laptop)
I also have an 850W PSU and an AIO cooler that came with the case. Since this is my first time building with AMD, is there anything I should know compared to Intel? I'm also open to suggestions on any other components I might need!

It's tough to give advice without knowing the prices. I'd suggest saving some cash by opting for a less flashy RAM and maybe going for a B850 motherboard. If you can, try to get the 7800X3D CPU instead, as it typically offers better performance for gaming.
Thanks for your input! I've added the prices now. I noticed the 7800X3D is hard to find, but I've read that the 7700X stays cooler and is great for 4K gaming. Also, as someone who's built Intel systems before, is there anything specific I should keep in mind while building with AMD?
