I'm putting together my first PC and I've selected the following parts: an ASUS ROG Strix B650-A motherboard, a CORSAIR RM850e power supply, an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU, an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro cooler, a darkFlash ATX mid-tower case with tempered glass, 32GB of Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM, an ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, and a WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD. I'd love to get some feedback on whether these components work well together and if they're good for gaming. Are there any suggestions for improvement or potential issues I should be aware of?

If your main focus is gaming, consider going for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or 9800X3D instead. They can offer better performance for that purpose.
What’s the total cost for all these parts? Sometimes, it might be worth checking for better deals or alternatives that offer the same performance for less money. That always helps with budget builds.
The total comes to $2,344, with the GPU being the most expensive at $795.
Whoa, that’s quite a bit! Have you checked for sales on any of the parts?
Honestly, while the individual parts are impressive, you can find newer, more efficient hardware at a better price that outperforms this build. Maybe look into some newer options?
Any suggestions on what would be better?
Everything looks solid overall! Just keep in mind that the GPU might be a bit on the pricey side compared to the rest of your build. If you're primarily gaming, you might want to weigh the performance against the cost.
This build is definitely on the pricier side, but it’s really nice! Just make sure you’re happy with the performance for the price you’re paying.
