Hi everyone! I'm looking for some feedback on my current PC build before I go ahead and order the parts. I'm still on the hunt for a GPU, and I'm considering either a regular 5070 or a 9070xt/5070ti if I can find one. Here's my build list: [PCpartpicker list](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hMhCnp). Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like you've got a solid starting point, but I would make a couple of changes. Do you live near a Microcenter? They often have great deals on parts that can save you shipping costs.
I made some updates to your build that you might want to check out: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dCHXt3](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dCHXt3). Let me know what you think!
Why would it be worth it to spend more on a 7700X?
I recommend switching to the Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX. It has better VRM heatsinks and more M.2 slots along with additional rear I/O ports, and it's priced similarly. Also, consider getting 6000 CL30 RAM. If you're going for an NVIDIA GPU, spending an extra $20 on a better PSU like the NZXT C850 Gold ATX 3.1 will be worth it. For the case, you might want to upgrade to a Corsair or NZXT model like the 4000D or H5 Flow for a bit more. It’ll give you better airflow and build quality.
I switched to this [Montech PSU](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sqbypg/montech-century-ii-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-century-ii-850w) from another comment. Is it worth spending extra on a nicer PSU?
No, I don't live near one. I also don’t have a Best Buy nearby, so I'll have to ship everything.
