**CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
**CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Aqua Elite V3 66.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
**Motherboard**: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
**Memory**: 2 x Patriot Viper Elite 5 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
**Storage**: Kingston NV3 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
**Video Card**: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Video Card
**Case**: KOLINK Unity Meshbay Performance ATX Mid Tower Case
**Power Supply**: Gigabyte AORUS ELITE P850 850 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

When you mention "Memory X2", you should get a RAM kit rather than individual sticks since kits are tested together for compatibility.
Also, a platinum power supply isn’t necessary unless it’s a great deal for you.
Make sure to go for dual-channel RAM for better performance. Even opting for CL36 RAM should work well! Everything else on your list looks solid.
