Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and I've double-checked the compatibility of all my components, but I'd love to get input from others to ensure I haven't missed anything critical. I already have an RTX 3080 and plan to use it for another 1-2 years, mainly for CPU-intensive games like WoW, PoE2, and some competitive titles. I've also opted for a larger power supply in case I decide to upgrade my GPU in the future. Here's the list of parts I'm planning to order:
- CASE: Fractal Design North XL TG Chalk White
- MOBO: ASUS X870 MAX Gaming WiFi 7 White
- PSU: Corsair RMe Series RM1000e (2025 model)
- HDD: WD Black SN8100 2TB NVMe SSD
- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 32GB CL28 (2x16GB, the best deal I found)
- Cooling: Corsair Nautilus 360 ARGB White
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9850X3D (releasing in my country on January 29, 2026)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (which I already own)
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated, especially on possible mistakes I might have made in this build! Also, for context, I do some coding and work with AI at a hobby level, but that's more of a side pursuit for this PC. Thanks in advance!

Everything seems fine to me too! Just as a suggestion, if you're ever looking to save a bit, you could consider the 9800X3D with a B650E motherboard. But if you're set on this config for performance and future-proofing, it’s gonna rock!
Your build looks solid! Honestly, if you're not trying to pinch pennies, the Ryzen 9 9850X3D is a great choice for your use case. Just keep an eye on cooling since you'll be running some hefty components. If everything is compatible, you're good to go!
Thanks for the advice! I’m really aiming for the best performance, so I appreciate the confirmation!
