Hey everyone! I'm excited to be building my first PC and I need some advice. Here's my current parts list that I think will work well together, but I'm not entirely sure since I'm still learning. Could you let me know if there's anything you would recommend changing or looking out for?
- GPU: MSi RTX 5070 Trio OC
- CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX
- Power Supply: Corsair RM850e, 850 watts, fully modular gold
- SSD: WD Black 1TB Gen 4 M.2
- CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken 240mm with two fans
- RAM: Corsair 32GB DDR5 6400MHz
- Case: H9 Flow
I still need to choose case fans too!

Your build looks solid for a first PC! If you can stretch your budget a bit, consider upgrading to the RTX 5070 Ti for more graphics power. It'll really help with future-proofing your gaming, especially as games become more demanding.
I was actually thinking about the 5070 Ti, but since I'm only gaming at 1440p right now, I wasn't sure if it would be worth the extra cost. Plus, I'm a bit concerned if 12GB of VRAM will be sufficient down the road for that resolution.
