I'm building my first PC and I want to ensure all my components are compatible. Here's what I've picked out:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D (4.7/5.2GHz)
- Motherboard: ASUS X870 MAX GAMING X870 AM5 DDR5
- Power Supply: Corsair RMe Series RM1000e ATX 3.1 PCIe 5.1 (1000W 80 Plus Gold)
- GPU: Asus ROG Strix 5080
- Disk: Seagate Ironwolf NAS 4TB HDD and Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD (7450MB/S, NVMe PCIe)
- Cooling: Corsair Nautilus 360 RS (360mm) and extra Corsair iCUE 120mm fans
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB)
- Monitor: MSI MAG 27" 240Hz
- Case: Be Quiet 600 DX RGB
Can anyone tell me if there's anything wrong with this setup? Do I need a bigger case for better airflow or easier cleaning?

Your build looks solid overall! Just double-check that your case has enough room for the Corsair 360mm cooler and the GPUs, as those can take up a lot of space. As for airflow, plenty of fans should keep it cool, but always nice to have good cable management, too! If you plan to overclock, don’t skimp on cooling. Good luck!
The components you picked should work well together. Just make sure your power supply has all the necessary connectors for the motherboard and GPU. If you’re aiming for a tidy build, think about how you want to route the cables, and possibly look for a case with good cable management options.
Agreed! A case with good cable management can make your build look a lot cleaner and improve airflow too.
Yeah, definitely consider cable management, especially with RGB components. It can positively impact airflow.
