I'm building my first PC and so far I've chosen a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an RTX 5070. You can check out my progress here: [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q6HhVF). My main goal is to play games, particularly Fortnite, while also running apps like Discord, Chrome, and Spotify in the background. What should I consider changing or upgrading in my current build?

It looks like you're off to a solid start! I would suggest looking at a better RAM option and perhaps a better SSD. Oh, and make sure to think about airflow in your case—adding some extra fans might help with that.
Everything seems well thought out for the most part! If you can catch the RTX 5070 on sale, jump on it. Also, check your RAM choice; the price seems really high for what you picked. Double-check that it matches your motherboard's specs as well—make sure it's supported!
Thanks for the tip! I didn't realize my motherboard can't handle 6400 MHz RAM, which is why I picked that one.
Good point! Are there specific fan models you'd recommend for airflow?
