I'm looking to buy this PC setup today and wanted to see if there are any concerns or potential bottlenecks with the build. Here's what I'm planning to get: an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU, a Thermaltake CPU cooler, an Asus TUF GAMING motherboard, 32 GB of TEAMGROUP DDR5 RAM, a Samsung 2 TB SSD, an ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, a Lian Li mini tower case, and an 850 W Lian Li power supply. If anyone has any thoughts on last-minute swaps or other considerations, I'd really appreciate your input!

You might want to consider upgrading to the Ryzen 7 7700X for better performance. I've created a modified version of your build that fits the same budget but offers more power. Check it out on PCPartPicker! Also, keep an eye on the cooler; the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE is pretty good for keeping things cool during heavy tasks.
Thanks for the suggestions! I actually have a MicroCenter bundle which limits my options on the CPU and motherboard, but I might be able to negotiate a memory swap.
