I'm looking to build a new PC and I want to know if the following parts will work together without any issues:
* CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
* Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI
* RAM: Team TFORCE VULCAN DDR5 16GB 5600Mhz
* GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G SHADOW 3X OC
* Power Supply: Corsair CX Series CX750 750 Watt 80+ Bronze ATX Power
* Storage: Lexar NM620 256GB Gen3x4 NVMe SSD
* Cooler: Gamdias BOREAS P1-720 Dual Tower CPU Air Cooler
* Case: Raidmax Infinita i800 ARGB Mid-Tower Case
Are these components compatible and what should I watch out for?

Overall, your component choices won't cause problems together. Just keep in mind that storage management may become tricky with a smaller SSD!
Yeah, all of these parts should work together without any major compatibility issues. But I’d suggest looking into some alternatives. If you're in a specific region, such as Romania or Sri Lanka, prices might vary a lot, so consider that when shopping.
Your parts mostly seem good! Just remember to be mindful of SSD size—256GB is quite limited for storage these days. Adding a larger SSD based on your needs will save you a headache down the line!
I have a 1TB SATA drive, so storage won't be an issue for me.
I think you'll be fine with the compatibility on this setup. Just a heads up: 256GB is really small for a storage option, especially with Windows and a couple of games eating up space quickly. I'd recommend aiming for 1TB if possible!
You might want to reconsider that 256GB SSD; it's pretty small, and it'll fill up fast with Windows and a couple of games. If you can, grab at least a 512GB SSD, if not more! Plus, if you're contemplating the GPU, check out the RX 9070 XT for extra VRAM. It's typically priced similarly, and it could be beneficial for your build.
The 9070 costs about $100 more than the 5070, and the 9600X is about $56 more than the 7600X. If I stick to my current PSU, will that be okay?
I'm from Sri Lanka, and prices are generally higher than in the US.
