Hey everyone! I'm about to finalize a new PC build and could really use your feedback before I make the purchase. I'm especially concerned about any major issues or poor choices in my selection, other than the current price of RAM. Here's my build:
**Processor:** AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core
**Cooler:** Lian Li Galahad II Trinity SL-INF
**Thermal Paste:** Arctic Silver 5
**Motherboard:** ASRock X870 Steel Legend WiFi
**Memory:** Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000
**Storage:** Kingston NV3 1 TB NVMe SSD
**Graphics Card:** Asus TUF GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
**Case:** HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite
**Power Supply:** MSI MAG A850GL 850 W
**Fans:** Various Lian Li and Corsair fans
The total cost comes to about $2897.14. Any glaring mistakes or thoughts on whether this is a good choice?

I agree with the previous comment, especially about the case. You can likely save a ton there and still get a powerful setup. If you go for a cheaper case, you might even be able to swing a 5080 instead of the 5070 Ti. Definitely worth considering!
Do you happen to live near a Micro Center? They often have great deals on PC parts which could help with your total cost.
I've heard some concerns about ASRock motherboards damaging AM5 CPUs. Maybe look into alternatives like the TUF X870? Also, that Kingston NV3 SSD might not be the best choice; consider something like the Western Digital SN7100 instead. And wow, you're really paying a premium for aesthetics with that cooler and case! You could save a lot if you downgrade those a bit.
