I'm building my first PC and I'm seeking advice on some parts. I live in the Philippines, and I'm having trouble finding the components I want on PCPartPicker. Here's my list of parts:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **CPU Cooler**: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core ARGB
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX
- **Memory**: Crucial Pro Overclocking 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: Lexar NQ790 1 TB NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte AORUS ELITE Radeon RX 9070 XT
- **Power Supply**: Corsair CX750M (2021) 750 W
- **Case**: Tecware Timber M High Airflow mATX TG Case
Total estimated cost is around $2356.23. I am purchasing everything from one shop but am open to sourcing from different places if it saves money. Also, I want a 1440p monitor for this setup. Any advice, critiques, or opinions on my choices would be greatly appreciated!

If you're looking to save some cash, a decent air cooler could actually outperform your AIO cooler and is generally more cost-effective. Plus, they can be easier to install and maintain. I’d recommend checking out some popular air cooler brands to see what fits your build best.
It looks like you might have some fit issues with your GPU; it’s 339 mm long while your case only supports 320 mm. Also, consider getting a higher-quality power supply since the one you’ve chosen might not handle this rig well enough. For storage, I'd suggest a TLC SSD instead of a QLC one for better reliability. Lastly, your RAM's 8000 MHz speed may not be stable with the AM5 platform, so you might want to stick with something around 6000 MHz.
