I'm embarking on my first PC build adventure and would love some insights on my current build list. I'm diving in without a lot of prior knowledge and want to confirm that all my components are compatible and up to snuff for heavily modded games that demand high performance. Aesthetics are also important to me; I'm aiming for an all-black theme with some stylish screens from the HYTE and TRYX. Here's what I'm planning to use:
**CASE:** HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite Mid-Tower Case
**MONITOR:** Samsung Odyssey G7
**GRAPHICS CARD:** MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 TI 16G SHADOW 3X OC 16GB GDDR7 PCIe Gen 5
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core 16-Thread 4.2 GHz (5.0 GHz Max Boost)
**CPU COOLER:** TRYX Panorama SE 360 ARGB
**MOTHERBOARD:** GIGABYTE X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (Socket AM5)
**MEMORY:** CORSAIR DOMINATOR TITANIUM RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 7000MHz
**POWER SUPPLY:** SeaSonic FOCUS GX ATX 3 (2024) GX-850 850 W ATX3.1 80 PLUS GOLD
**STORAGE:** Crucial P310 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
**EXTRA FANS (x2):** LIAN LI UNI FAN SL INFINITY 120 RGB
**WIRING:** Lian Li Strimer Plus 8-Pin ARGB GPU Extension Cable
**WINDOWS OS:** Microsoft Windows 11 Home Retail - USB 64-bit
The total comes to around $3500. I'm eager to hear any thoughts you might have!

Your components are top-notch, but just a heads up, buying a Windows key can be a bit tricky sometimes. Just make sure you get it from a reliable source!
You might want to consider switching the RAM to a 6000MHz module instead of the 7000MHz. Ryzen CPUs typically perform better with slightly lower speed RAM and improved latency, which could enhance your overall performance.
Noted!! Looking into it now. I guess I was focusing too much on what's 'best' rather than what's compatible, so this is really helpful!
What do you mean? Is it hard to find a legit key?
