Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a PC using the 9950X and 9070XT, and I want to make sure I'm not making any costly mistakes. You can check out my potential parts list here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2RLdWc. I'm a bit anxious about the whole setup and would love to hear any recommendations or warnings about specific parts. Thanks!

You can save some cash by going for the non-RGB versions of your AIO cooler and RAM, especially since RGB won't really be visible in your case. Just a thought!
Why not go for an X5 drive for better performance? The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a solid choice for gaming! Just my two cents.
Hey, I put together a better build for a similar price! Check it out: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XybR8Q). You might like the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D instead of the 9950X, and I’ve included everything from cooling to PSU that fits nicely in your budget!
I suggest considering a 850 watt power supply instead of a 750 watt one. It’ll give you a bit more breathing room for power. The 9950X is awesome for productivity, but for gaming, those X3D chips are truly where it's at. Just keep that in mind!
Are you going to be using this build primarily for productivity tasks? Knowing that could help in making some part decisions. If gaming is a big part, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D chips might be a better fit than the 9950X for performance in games.
That's given me something to think about. Thank you very much for the response and advice! 🙂
