I'm planning to build a new PC to upgrade from my old one, which I'm passing down to my parents. I didn't do much research on the components—mainly just checked their specs against my current setup. Here's what I've picked out:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
- **Cooler**: Noctua NH-D15
- **Motherboard**: MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi
- **RAM**: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD
- **GPU**: ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5060 TI
- **Case**: Phanteks XT Pro Ultra ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G+ 1000W 80+ Gold
- **OS**: Windows 11
I'm mostly concerned about whether everything will fit in the case properly and if there are any compatibility issues. I'm also transferring two hard drives from my old PC, but I didn't list those since they're not new. I mainly use my PC for gaming, so I want to make sure everything's set up right.

I’d suggest reconsidering the power supply. A 1000W PSU might be overkill, especially with the components you’ve chosen. Something like the Corsair RM850x would fit your needs just fine and possibly save you some cash. Also, while the Noctua cooler is great, it's a bit pricey. If noise isn't a major issue, you could find more affordable options that still perform well.
Totally get the concern about fitting everything! Just make sure you check the dimensions for your case and cooler. The Noctua is known for being quiet, but if you're looking to save some money, there are solid alternatives out there. As for the power supply, since you're planning on gaming, make sure you have enough wattage, but you might not need as much as you think.
