Hey everyone! I'm looking to enhance my computer setup with a new desktop that can easily last 5 years while handling any game at max settings smoothly. Aesthetics are also important to me. Currently, I have an OMEN laptop with an i9-12900H, RTX 3060, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a QHD 165Hz display.
For my new build, I'm considering a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RX 9070 XT, and between 32GB and 64GB of DDR5 RAM, along with a 2TB SSD, a high-end PSU and motherboard, a 360mm AIO cooler, and Lian Li fans. I'm thinking about using either the Floatron F1 case or the Antec Flux Pro.
I'm contemplating whether to buy an entry-level PC now and upgrade gradually (keeping an eye out for deals on Facebook Marketplace) or sell my current setup to invest in my dream build all at once. Any advice on specs or general tips for a newbie in computer building would be greatly appreciated!

What's your budget? The parts you're considering could range from around $2k to $3k USD. If you're in the US, check out if there's a Micro Center nearby; they often have good bundles for CPUs, motherboards, and RAM. Here's a rough price guide: [check this link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xxgkdq). It doesn’t include your specific case, but you can usually find it for a similar price on Amazon.
That build sounds solid and definitely has the power to meet your needs! You'll be set for a while with those specs.
Don't skip on a good monitor! Mini LED and OLED options are pricey, but they really enhance your gaming experience.
