Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building my first PC focused on AI tasks like LLM training and image generation, as well as gaming and 3D animation here in India. Here's my current component list:
- **Motherboard**: MSI X670E Gaming Plus WiFi – ₹20,860 / $250
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X – ₹54,900 / $655
- **GPU**: Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti SFF Windforce OC 16GB – ₹84,616 / $1,010
- **RAM**: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz – ₹14,283 / $170
- **SSD**: Kingston NV2 4TB Gen4 NVMe – ₹20,073 / $240
- **PSU**: Corsair RM1200x SHIFT 1200W 80+ Gold – ₹16,200 / $193
- **AIO Cooler**: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 Black – ₹9,200 / $110
- **Cabinet**: Antec C5 ARGB White Mid Tower – ₹8,700 / $104
I would really appreciate any feedback on these components, especially recommendations for swaps that might provide better value, thermal performance, or future-proofing. I've found choosing the motherboard to be particularly challenging. Thanks!

For your needs, I think you might not even need all the features on that motherboard. A B650 or B850 board could save you some money and still perform great. Also, about the NV2 SSD—it's using QLC flash, which is less durable. I recommend looking at other options like the Kioxia Exceria Plus or TeamGroup drives instead for better longevity! And honestly, a 1000W PSU would be plenty.
That's interesting! I'm exploring the B650 Tomahawk option you mentioned, but if there’s a more affordable option that won’t impact performance, I'd definitely consider it. Thanks for the heads-up!
Honestly, your build looks pretty solid for what you want to do! Just one thing though—the white case with your mostly black setup? It might clash a bit. You could think about getting a black case instead since it might look cleaner overall. Just my two cents!
Agreed! A black case might enhance the overall aesthetics, especially with a black-and-white color scheme.
I see what you mean! Have you considered the black version of the case? It’s available now, and it’s the same price.
Great point about the SSD—I’ll definitely do some more research there. What do you think about the WD_Black SN7100? It's 2TB with great speeds!
