I'm about to build a new PC and could really use some input on the components I've chosen. I'm not an expert, so I'd appreciate a second opinion! Right now, I'm a bit uncertain about the motherboard and the fans. Here's what I'm planning to use:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D
- **Motherboard**: ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI
- **Cooler**: Sharkoon S90 RGB White AIO 360mm
- **RAM**: G.Skill DIMM 32 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 16 GB) Dual-Kit
- **GPU**: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AERO OC 16G
- **SSD**: Samsung 990 PRO 2 TB
- **Case**: HYTE Y70 Snow White
- **Fans**: Lian Li UNI FAN TL120 LCD and Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 Wireless
- **PSU**: Seasonic CORE GX-750-V2-WHITE 750W
I mainly aim to use the PC for gaming and some art projects. My budget is around 4,000 euros, which I might stretch if it means better longevity! I'm located in Germany.

What’s your primary use for the PC? If it's mostly for gaming and art, you might want to consider your overall budget and the performance you'll get from certain parts. Have you thought about the cooling system and the case airflow with the fans you've selected?
I've heard the Samsung 990 Pro can overheat, so it might be smart to look for alternatives. For the motherboard, consider switching to MSI or Gigabyte over ASUS for better compatibility with Ryzen processors. The Ryzen 9 9800X3D is a solid option unless you're gaming at really high resolutions, then go for the 9950X3D. Makes sense?
Thanks for the tips! What about the Samsung 9100 Pro? Does it have the same overheating issue?
Yeah, it's mostly gaming and art. I was aiming for good cooling since I want the system to last a while. What do you think about my budget?
