I'm building my first PC and want to make sure everything is compatible and works well. Here's my list:
- **CPU:** Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **GPU:** Asus Prime GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC 16GB GDDR6X
- **Motherboard:** Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI
- **RAM:** Kingston Fury Beast, DDR5, 32GB, 5600MHz, CL36
- **CPU Cooler:** be quiet! Dark Rock Elite
- **Power Supply:** be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W
- **SSD1:** WD Black SN850X 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-E x4 Gen4 NVMe
- **SSD2:** WD Black SN850X 2TB M.2 2280 PCI-E x4 Gen4 NVMe
- **Case:** Krux Exo RGB
Thanks for any feedback!

Your build looks solid overall, but consider a few tweaks. For RAM, going with DDR5-6000 CL30 would be a better bang for your buck. Also, you might not need both SSDs; they should serve different purposes, sure, but a single larger SSD could simplify things unless you have a specific reason for two. Lastly, make sure to verify that your motherboard supports everything properly.
Just a heads up, the RTX 4070 Ti might be tough to find at a reasonable price since it's been out of production for a while. You might want to look into the newer 5070 Ti instead. Also, I heard the Dark Rock Elite cooler is on the pricier side for what you get. There are budget-friendly options that perform just as well, like those from Thermalright. Maybe check out PCPartPicker for better guidance!
I actually think two SSDs can be really beneficial! You could separate your OS and applications from your data, which makes managing everything much easier if you ever need to reinstall the OS.
