I'm putting together my first PC build and I'd love some feedback! My budget is around $1900, and I'm focused primarily on gaming. Here's what I'm considering:
- **CPU**: Ryzen 7 7800 X3D
- **GPU**: Radeon RX 9070 XT (Challenger model)
- **RAM**: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30
- **Storage**: 1TB Gen 4 SSD (likely the WD SN770)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI6E
- **Power Supply**: DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm PN850M 850W
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Case**: Deepcool CG530 Mid Tower
Do you think there's anything I should optimize or change in this setup? Also, I'm considering monitors: the Samsung 34" (curved) or 32" (non-curved) Odyssey G5, and the Alienware 27 QHD Gaming Monitor - AW2725DM. Any opinions? Thanks for your help!

Your build looks solid for gaming, but you might want to consider RAM that has a CAS latency of CL36; it can save you some cash and won't impact performance significantly for gaming. As for the monitors, I don’t have specific recommendations, but I think they are both good options depending on your preference for curved vs flat.
That’s a fair point! If I can find a CL36 kit like the Ripjaws S5, I’ll definitely go for it. Any specific recommendations?
