Hey folks! I'm building my own PC for the first time and I'm feeling a bit unsure about my choices. I want to make sure I haven't bought anything that's outdated or overpriced. Here's what I've put together so far:
- **Case**: Sharkoon Rebel C70G RGB, ATX
- **Disk**: Lexar EQ790 2TB SSD NVMe
- **PSU**: be quiet! Pure Power 12 750W
- **Motherboard**: ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS
- **Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU
- **RAM**: Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 6400MHz
- **Graphics**: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB
- **Processor**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
I opted for a single 2TB NVMe drive to simplify things. If anyone notices potential mistakes or has recommendations, I'd really appreciate your insights!

I noticed that the Lexar EQ790 uses QLC flash memory, which isn't as durable and tends to slow down over time. You should consider swapping it for a drive with TLC flash, like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or the WD Blue SN580. They'll perform much better and last longer!
There are no strict rules here about posting your setup, so you’re all good! Also, if you haven't checked out pcpartpicker.com, I highly recommend it. It can help you see local pricing and compare parts easily. Which country are you buying in? I can help you curate a list based on the prices there!
Gotcha! I’m based in Germany, so I’d appreciate any help on finding good prices!
Thanks for the tip! I found a few alternatives like the Patriot Memory Viper VP4300 Lite 2TB and WD Blue SN580. Which one would you choose if you were in my shoes, especially since I plan to partition it for the OS and games?
