I'm building my first gaming PC in Sweden and would like some feedback before ordering the parts. The planned system uses a Ryzen 5 7500F, an ASUS PRIME Radeon RX 9070 16GB OC, an ASRock B850M Challenger motherboard, 16GB (2×8GB) Kingston Fury Beast DDR5, a 2TB Kingston NV3 SSD, an ASUS TUF Gaming 750W Gold ATX 3.1 power supply, a Lian Li Vector V100 Mini case, and an ID-Cooling FROZN A620 PRO SE CPU cooler. I'll mainly play at 1440p ultrawide. The current total is about 17,095 SEK, and I can spend a few hundred kronor more if an upgrade is worthwhile. I'm prioritizing gaming performance, compatibility, and good value. Is anything mismatched, and which parts would you change?

The Kingston NV3 can use QLC NAND depending on the version, which generally means lower endurance and potentially slower sustained performance. For a main system drive, I’d consider a TLC-based SSD instead, such as the WD Black SN7100 or another reputable TLC model with similar pricing.
The build looks generally solid, but you may be able to save money on the motherboard, power supply, and case. Comparing prices across Swedish retailers could free up enough budget for a more worthwhile upgrade, especially if the cheaper parts still meet the required specifications.
Would the 2TB WD Black SN7100 be a better choice for this build?
