Hey folks! I'm in the process of planning a PC build with a budget of around $2000, and I'm looking for suggestions on how to optimize it further and possibly save some money. I'm a bit overwhelmed and would appreciate any advice or changes you might recommend to make this build even better.

For an even cheaper yet powerful option, consider upgrading to the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It’s a bit pricier upfront at $472.02, but combines nicely with a well-priced Gigabyte B850 motherboard. Here’s a quick list of my recommendations:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D for $472.02
- **Cooler**: Peerless Assassin for $36.90
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B850 for $179.99
- **Memory**: Same 32GB DDR5 for $89.99
- **Storage**: A slightly cheaper 2TB NVME Drive for $98.99
- **GPU**: Keep the RTX 5070 Ti for $837.98
- **Case**: Lian Li for $81.99
- **PSU**: Cooler Master MWE Gold for $104.99
This build comes to about $1902.85. You’re getting a great performance while staying under budget!
