I'm about to buy my first PC and I'm not very experienced with hardware. Here are the specs I'm considering: an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X processor running at 4.7GHz, paired with an ASUS PRIME X870-P WIFI-CSM motherboard. For memory, I'm looking at 32GB of KINGSTON DDR5 running at 6000MHz. Storage would be a 1TB SAMSUNG 980 NVME PCIe M.2 SSD, along with a GeForce RTX 5070 OC graphics card. The case is an ASUS TUF GAMING GT502 HORIZON, and cooling will be handled by an ASUS PRIME LC 360 ARGB AIO. Lastly, the power supply is an ANTEC NE1000G M 1000W 80+ GOLD. I'm curious if these specs are solid, what potential drawbacks there are, and if there's anything I should watch out for. Thanks a ton!

Those specs look top-notch! Just keep in mind the total cost—what are you planning to spend on this build? Additionally, knowing what you'll use it for (like coding and gaming) really helps in recommending components. If you’re mainly gaming, you might want to balance some parts for price or performance.
I'm looking at around $2450 for the whole setup in my country. It should handle coding and some gaming pretty well!
