I'm planning to build a PC with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and an RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU. I'm not very experienced with PC building, so I would appreciate if you could recommend the additional components I'll need to complete my setup. I intend to buy everything from Amazon, so any specific suggestions would be great!

If you're located in the US and near a Microcenter, I strongly recommend checking them out for their CPU, motherboard, and RAM bundles; you can save a lot there. For the GPU, the 4070 Ti works fine, especially if you're considering a used one, but look at the 50xx series if you're buying new. Opt for a B650 motherboard for solid performance— B850 if you want extra features. You don't need to go crazy with the case; just make sure it has good airflow. Also, for your PSU, around 750W should be good enough (850W if you plan to upgrade later). For RAM, I suggest looking for combo deals and aiming for 6000MHz if possible, but anything reasonably priced will work. At least 1TB SSD is a good idea, though 2TB is better if you can manage it. Good luck with your build!
You'll definitely need a few more parts besides the CPU and GPU. Don't forget about the motherboard, RAM, power supply (PSU), a case, storage, and a cooler. You can use PCPartPicker to check for compatibility and compare prices. They also have guides that can help you figure out what components you need. It’s a great place to start!
Microcenter is a goldmine! They often have fantastic deals, like 32GB DDR5 RAM, B650 motherboard, and the 7800X3D for around $550. It’s worth checking out!
