I'm starting to gather parts for a gaming PC, especially with prices rising. I'm not very knowledgeable about building PCs, and I want to ensure that I select components that are compatible and offer options for future upgrades. My current build list includes an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with an MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard, an ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition graphics card, a be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 750W power supply, a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 CPU cooler, a PC case with four ARGB fans, and a Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM kit. I'm also considering a Crucial T710 PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD. I'd really appreciate any advice on potential upgrades, saving money, and any additional parts I might be missing.

You're also missing some important categories, like storage and a motherboard, so keep that in mind. Regarding the CPU cooler, I’d recommend looking into either the Thermalright Phantom Evo or the Arctic Freezer III. The one you mentioned seems a bit overpriced, and you can get better value with those options.
First off, what country are you located in? Knowing that and your total budget can help narrow things down. Also, have you tried using PCPartPicker? It's a great tool for checking compatibility between parts.
