I'm looking to upgrade my PC for better gaming performance. I've already chosen the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and the Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, but I'm unsure about other parts to complete my build. My budget is between $1500 and $1800, but I can stretch it to about $2000 if needed. I'm pretty new to building PCs, so I'd appreciate any recommendations on compatible components or anything else I should consider. Let me know if you need more details!

Why did you pick the Ryzen 9950X initially? It seems like a pretty high-end choice unless you're doing some heavy workloads on the side. If you're mainly gaming, you might want to stick with something like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is a solid performer for games without breaking the bank.
I didn’t realize the 9950X was more aimed at workstations! Could you suggest a good alternative for gaming?
