Hey everyone! I'm diving into my first PC build, and I could really use your thoughts on the components I've chosen. I went with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor paired with an ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, both of which I snagged from Micro Center. I'm mostly focused on making sure everything is compatible and runs smoothly together. If you see any potential issues or have suggestions for more budget-friendly alternatives that offer similar performance, I'd love your input! Also, I'm looking at a 32-inch QHD monitor but couldn't find the exact one on PCPartPicker, so I picked a close option there. Any recommendations for that would also be great! Thanks!

I think you could save a bit on both the PSU and the case. For your PSU, I recently built with a 750W for my 7800X3D and 5070 Ti, and it worked perfectly fine!
Your build is almost identical to mine, and it's fantastic. You should be able to run pretty much everything at max settings in 1440p without any issues! Just make sure to check the motherboard BIOS for compatibility with the 7800X3D before you assemble everything.
Your build looks great overall! I recently built something similar and really love the cooler I'm using. Just be cautious about the case size; a larger case can make building much easier. Let me know if you’re looking for case recommendations without tempered glass!
Thanks for the feedback! I picked this case because I wanted to skip the tempered glass. If you have any suggestions for a larger non-glass case, I'd appreciate it!
The monitor you’re considering might be a bit pricey for what it offers. You could find something like the 5080 FE around the same price during a sale, which might be a better deal—but I get that it's not always feasible. Just do thorough research on reviews to back your monitor choice!
Got it! I'll keep an eye out for better deals. Any specific monitor you'd recommend?
Absolutely! I went with an 850W PSU, but realized 750W is more than sufficient for this setup.
