Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my first PC and I wanted to know if this build looks solid. Check out the details here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZKmYxg. I'd also appreciate any suggestions for parts that offer better value while maintaining similar performance! Thanks!

This build looks great! Just a heads up, the SSD you selected is on the pricier side but it's one of the fastest 4.0 drives out there. If you're looking to save a bit, consider switching to the SN850x; you could save around $30.
As for the PSU, while a 750W should handle it, I personally recommend an 850W unit for a bit more headroom, especially with the 5070ti and 9800x3d. Better to have extra power for future upgrades!
Totally agree on the PSU. You don't want to skimp on it; a good PSU can last through multiple builds. I've got one that's still going strong after three GPUs!
If you're buying from MSI, consider getting the motherboard with the CPU as a bundle. They often offer good savings, and you'll get a solid B850 motherboard with it! Check it out on their official store.
That's awesome, thanks for the tip!
Thanks for your input! Do you think the SSD switch would noticeably impact my performance? Just so you know, I'm mostly into Grand Strategy Games.
