Hey everyone! I'm diving into my first PC build and I'd love your feedback on my current part list. I'm new to this and want to make sure I'm on the right track. Here's the link to my list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Maca0151/saved/#view=dsVbCJ. Any advice or changes you would recommend would be greatly appreciated!

Looking good! Just a thought: if you're tight on budget, maybe swap the 9800x3d for a cheaper 7800x3d or a 9600x, and get a solid GPU like a 9070xt or 5070ti instead. You might find that a balanced GPU upgrade gives you significantly better gaming performance without overextending your budget.
Your list looks solid overall. I don't see any glaring weak spots. Personally, I would suggest considering a 7800x3d CPU paired with a 5070ti. That combo might offer better GPU performance for gaming right now, which could make a bigger difference than going for a higher-end CPU.
Thanks for the input! I'm definitely leaning towards the 5070TI, but it's a bit pricey for me right now. I went with the AMD 7 9800 since I've heard great things about it for GPUs.
Hey, check this out! I made some adjustments to save money while upgrading the GPU. Here's my revised list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tLj7Dj. You'll be able to get better performance with a solid graphics card for less cash!
At your price point, I'd argue you should be aiming for at least a 9070xt or a 5070ti. It seems like you're overpaying in areas that won't yield good performance compared to investing more into the GPU. I shared a better option here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X4wX9C.
True! The 5070TI is on my radar but it’s a bit out of my budget for now. I’ve seen a lot of good reviews for the 9800x3d, though.
