Looks like you’re on the right track! If this build is mainly for gaming, I recommend swapping out the 9900X for something like the 7800X3D or 9800X3D. They're better optimized for gaming. Plus, consider switching to a more budget-friendly motherboard like the MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX. This could help save some cash without sacrificing performance.

StarryEyedNinja42: Thanks for the advice! I was actually leaning towards the 9800X3D. Just to clarify, that's the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, right? Also, what's the major benefit of changing the motherboard? I'm eager to learn more!
