I'm about to purchase my new gaming rig and wanted to check if there's anything I might be missing or could optimize before finalizing the deal. Here's what I have so far:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Phantom Spirit EVO 69 CFM CPU Cooler
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 ATX AM5 Motherboard
- **Memory**: TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- **Storage**: Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte AERO OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB
- **Case**: Fractal Design Focus G ATX Mid Tower Case
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular
The total comes to around $1984.35. I want to keep it under $2000 and prioritize performance over aesthetics. I'm set on sticking with an NVIDIA GPU, but I'm open to any comments or suggestions on this build!

You might want to grab a B650 motherboard for around $150-$165, which could free up some cash for a 2TB NVME SSD. Everything else looks solid!
Thanks, that’s a great suggestion! A 2TB SSD will fit right into my budget with the B650!
