Hey everyone! I'm completely new to building PCs and have never done this before. I've decided to try building my own computer instead of buying a laptop since it seems more practical for my goals. I want to create content and stream, so I'm looking for your thoughts on my planned build. Here's what I have so far:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
- **GPU:** Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC 12GB
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B650 Eagle (AM5)
- **RAM:** Lexar Ares RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30
- **SSD:** ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB NVMe
- **Power Supply:** Cooler Master G Gold 750W V2 (80+ Gold)
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Case:** Jonsbo D31 Mesh
My budget is around $2000, but I can stretch it a bit if needed. Also, I'm curious about the value of buying used parts—any tips on that? Thanks a lot for your help!

Your build looks solid! However, I'd suggest considering the RTX 5070 if you can. It's a bit more powerful than the 4070 and would handle your streaming and gaming needs even better. Just make sure it fits well with your existing parts.
Before diving into parts, make sure your budget is set. A good tool to use is PCPartPicker to check if all your components are compatible. As for secondhand parts, RAM and CPUs are usually safe bets since they don't have moving parts. Just buy from reliable sellers to avoid issues.
Thanks for the info! I'll definitely check out PCPartPicker and look into used parts more carefully.
Thanks for the tip! Do you think the 5070 will work well with my other components? I appreciate your help!
