I'm planning my first PC build, and I want to know if the components I'm considering are good choices. Here's what I've got:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - £260
- **RAM**: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 - £209
- **Case**: Corsair 3500X White Mid Tower - £89.99
- **Cooler**: NZXT Kraken Elite 280mm - £99
- **SSD**: 1TB Kioxia Exceria Plus G4 - £99
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG Gaming Plus WiFi B650 - £124
- **Power Supply**: 750W Corsair RM750e - £89
- **GPU**: MSI NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ventus 2X OC
My total budget is between £1400 and £1500. I mainly want to play RPGs and open-world games. Also, I'm considering upgrading to a 5070 Ti or RX 9070 and willing to stretch my budget for the 5070 Ti if it's worth it.

I think your build looks pretty solid for a first-timer! The components you picked are strong for RPGs and open-world games. Just a heads-up, the cooler might be overkill unless you’re aiming for aesthetics or planning future upgrades.
Would you suggest going with an air cooler instead?
