Hey everyone! I'm super excited about finally putting together a new PC after doing tons of research. I've selected my components to ensure they last me for years. Here's what I've got planned:
|Component|Model|
|:-|:-|
|CPU|AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D|
|Motherboard|MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI|
|GPU|ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition|
|RAM|Kingston Fury DDR5 32GB 2x16GB 6000MHz (CL30)|
|SSD|Samsung 990 EVO PLUS 1TB|
|Cooler|DeepCool AK620 Zero Dark|
|PSU|MSI MPG A850G PCIE5|
|Case|Zalman Chronix|
Total budget is around $2300, and I'm looking for feedback to ensure there aren't any major flaws in my set-up before I pull the trigger on ordering everything. I'd really appreciate your insights, as I don't want to end up disappointed after spending a lot of money! Thanks in advance!

Just a heads up, if your budget is $2300 USD, you're not really maximizing that budget. If you're willing to share what currency you're using, it might help. If it is USD, I think you could get better components! Here’s a comparison based on a list I put together:
- **CPU**: Upgrade to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D for better performance.
- **Cooling**: A good liquid cooler can make a huge difference.
- **GPU**: The RTX 5080 is a solid upgrade as well.
Overall, this build only runs about $2258, and I think it brings more value for your money! If you want, I can share a full parts list with links to each component.
I'm in Ukraine and a build like this would cost me about $2850 because of local prices. But your suggested build is looking more appealing!
Consider whether 1TB of SSD storage will be enough for you. It may suit your needs now, but think about potential future storage requirements. If needed, you could always add your old laptop SSD for extra space later on.
Yeah, I think I’ll be okay since I have another SSD from my old laptop lying around if I need more storage!
Yeah, if it's $2300 USD, then I’d say every part in your list is an upgrade from OP's build!
