Hey everyone! I'm diving into the world of PC building for the first time and I'm curious if the parts I've selected will work well together. Here's what I'm looking at:
- **GPU:** Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7 Aorus Windforce OC SFF Graphics Card
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 4.3GHz Processor (16 Core, Socket AM5)
- **SSD:** Western Digital Black SN850X (No Heatsink) 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B650 EAGLE (B650/AM5/DDR5)
- **RAM:** G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 64GB (2x32GB Modules, 6400MHz)
- **PSU:** RM1000x SHIFT 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (1000W)
- **Water Cooling:** Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 CPU Water Cooling (Triple Fan, 120mm)
- **Case:** Serioux Shadow Gaming Midi Tower
- **Thermal Paste:** Arctic MX-6 Thermal Paste 4gr
I'm hoping to get some insights on whether these components are good matches for each other, especially since I'm just starting out!

The CPU you picked is really high-end for gaming. If you're primarily gaming, you might want to save some cash and go for something like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D instead, which still offers great performance without being overkill.
So, are you saying it’ll perform almost the same?
