I'm diving into my first PC build and could really use some help or suggestions. I'm going to use it primarily for AI generation and gaming. Here's what I'm working with:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Phantom Spirit EVO 69 CFM
- **Motherboard**: Asus PRIME B650-PLUS WIFI ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: WD_BLACK SN850X 4 TB NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB
- **Case**: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Vetroo GV1000 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular
My total cost is around $2556.54. Any thoughts or tips on my setup?

Your build looks solid for gaming and AI! A good 750W PSU should be enough, but if you want some headroom, an 850W version is a safe bet. For the motherboard, while what you have is fine, you might find other options out there that offer better value. Also, the GPU seems a bit pricey compared to performance gains available in other models. Check out some alternatives! Here's a [link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pvZwZc) to a build I think might be worth considering.
I'm curious about why the GPU is considered too expensive. What should I be looking for in terms of price and performance?
