Hey everyone! I'm a computer science undergraduate and I've decided to build my first PC. I've put together a $1,500 AMD build on PCPartPicker, and I'm excited to get the parts in a few days. I'd love to hear your thoughts or any advice before I finalize everything. Here's the link to my build: [PCPartPicker Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KRMdkf). Thanks in advance!

Your build looks good! If you're interested, I put together a different combo that includes a 5070 Ti, a 7700X, 2TB of faster TLC storage, and 32GB of RAM for around $1,490. Check this out: [Newegg Combo](https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4818879&cm_sp=product-combooption). It might save you some hassle!
Honestly, you really don’t need such high-end specs for undergrad! Unless you're gaming at 1440p or 4k, your choices are a bit over the top. But hey, if gaming is a priority for you, then it looks like you picked good parts!
Just a heads up, the UD90 you’ve chosen has QLC flash, which isn't the best for durability and can slow down significantly over time. I recommend going for a drive with TLC flash, like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or WD Blue SN5000. They’ll give you much better performance in the long run!
Thanks, I’ll definitely check this out!
