I'm in the process of building my first gaming PC and would love some advice on my current part list. I used an AI to help, but I'm not sure if it's all good. Here's what I have so far:
- **AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D** - $750
- **ASUS B650E-E Motherboard**
- **Crucial 2x16GB CL36 RAM**
- **NVIDIA 5070 GPU** - $550
- **Crucial P310 Gen4 2TB SSD** - $192
- **Phanteks XT Pro Cooler** - $60
- **MSI MGP 1000W PSU** - $110
- **Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE Cooler** - $33
- **5x Arctic P12 Pro PST Fans** - $28
- **Total Cost**: $1723
I'd appreciate any suggestions for changes or improvements!

It looks like a solid build! However, I’d recommend considering a few changes. First, can you tell me about your budget and where you're buying from? Your CPU seems a bit pricey—it's around $250 over average pricing if you're in the U.S. Also, have you thought about the 9070 GPU instead of the 5070? It's cheaper and performs better!
I think you might want to save some cash with the 7800X3D bundle instead of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Also, if the prices you listed are accurate, you could still save some money. Just double-check everything!
Yeah, I found a bundle for the motherboard, CPU, and RAM at Micro Center, and my budget is around $1.5k to $2k.
