- CPU: Ryzen 9 9950x

- GPU: RTX 3070
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite WIFI7
- Storage: Samsung 990 2TB + WD SN850X 1TB
- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 64GB

Is there anything I should watch out for during the build?

Wow, that’s an impressive build! Just a heads up, you’re pairing a pretty powerful Ryzen 9 9950X with an RTX 3070. Make sure your PSU can handle it all, and keep an eye on temp management with that cooler. Also, check compatibility between your components, especially the motherboard and CPU.
Yeah, always double-check compatibility! It's crucial for a smooth build.
Good point! Also, don't forget to update your BIOS if necessary before starting.
