I'm putting together my first PC and I've selected a few parts. Can anyone provide feedback or suggest any changes? Here's what I have so far:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 Processor 9700X, 8-core/16-thread
- **GPU:** GeForce RTX 5070, 12GB GDDR7 Video Card (with DLSS 4.0)
- **HDD:** 2TB TeamGroup Z44A7 Series SSD (PCIe Gen4) NVMe M.2 SSD (Dual Drives)
- **Memory:** Team T-FORCE 64GB (32GBx2) DDR5/6000MHz Dual Channel Memory
- **Motherboard:** ASUS PRIME B850-PLUS
- **Power Supply:** 850 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely let us know if it's gaming! If so, your GPU is a bit on the pricey side for the performance you might get. Keep an eye on resource usage while gaming to ensure it's the right fit.
Are you building this for gaming or more for work? Knowing that can help to refine your choices.
Looks mostly solid, but the CPU you've picked seems like an older model. Have you considered the Ryzen 5 5600X? It’s usually better for gaming at a similar price point. Also, depending on your intended use, that 64GB of RAM might be overkill for gaming; 32GB is often plenty unless you're doing heavy multitasking or content creation.
It's for gaming.
