Hey folks! I'm putting together a new PC build with an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and an Asus ROG STRIX 5070 Ti. I've been out of the PC hardware loop for a bit, having built my first PC back in 2018. I plan to get a 1440p, 240Hz monitor and aim for over 100 FPS on high/ultra settings for games like Witcher 3. I also want to be able to game and stream simultaneously if possible. I've checked compatibility across components like RAM clearance and motherboard specs, and everything seems to mesh well. I'm not rushing into this build and just want to know if I'm making any beginner mistakes or if I'm overspending on any parts (aside from the case, which I admit is pretty extravagant). Your thoughts and suggestions would really help!

You might want to drop the 2.5" SSD from your build. For storage, if you're working with tons of photos, I get wanting extra space, but you might find a better value on the motherboard if you don’t need USB4—consider a B850 instead!
Good point! I’ll keep the storage for photos but will check out those motherboard options. Thanks!
