I'm planning to build a high-end PC mainly for gaming and editing, but I'm feeling a bit anxious about compatibility. I've done my research and believe that my selected parts should work together, but I would appreciate any input you all might have. Here's the list of components I'm considering:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
- GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X870-E Gaming Wifi
- RAM: Kingston FUTY Beast RGB 32GB
- Storage: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB
- PSU: Corsair RM1000x 1000W
- CPU Cooler: ASUS ROG Ryuo IV SLC ARGB
- Case: NZXT H7 Flow 2024
If you have any suggestions, feedback, or recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

You might want to consider switching to the Silicon Power UD90 SSD. It can save you some cash without sacrificing performance. Everything else looks top-notch!
Just a thought—are you sure about needing all the parts you've chosen? You could probably save a good amount and still get excellent FPS for gaming. What’s your main focus for the PC?
Your build looks compatible, but I'd recommend checking it on PCPartPicker just to double-check everything. Also, have you considered the AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D? It's a solid option, but the 9950X has more cores, which is great for editing workflows!
True, the 9950X's 16 cores will definitely benefit you more in production tasks compared to the 9800X3D's 8 cores!
A few questions to help you refine your build:
- Is gaming or editing your priority? What type of editing are you doing (video, photo, etc.) and what software do you plan to use?
- Are you doing this for work or as a hobby?
- What’s your budget in USD, and where are you located?
Also, your motherboard and cooler might be pricier than necessary for your needs, and honestly, you won't need a 1000W PSU; an 850W should suffice.
I prioritize both gaming and editing; it's mainly video (2K to 4K resolution) and some photo editing. I want to learn advanced techniques and I’m based in the USA with a budget under $3,600. I'll be using Davinci Resolve for my editing!
I want to use it for gaming as well as editing and graphic design, so it's a mix!
