Hey everyone! I'm really excited about building my first PC and I'm aiming for a budget around $2,000 (give or take $300). My primary focus will be gaming and maybe some video editing. I've tried to pick reliable brands and products, but I'm not entirely sure about which high-end components to prioritize within my budget. I'd love your thoughts and any advice you can share on my choices listed below!
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 98003XD
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X870 Plus Wifi
GPU: GeForce 5070 Ti
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32GB
SSD: WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB
Power Supply: MSI MPG 1000W, 80+ Gold
Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L (this one is a free gift with the CPU)
Monitor: Gigabyte 1440p, 27" gaming monitor
Thanks in advance for your help!

You might want to reconsider a couple of parts, though. Like the RAM you're looking at for $410 isn't the best bang for the buck since it's a bit slower than others at that speed. There are better options available at lower prices that will perform much better!
Yeah, those brands usually get good reviews. Just check out the benchmarks to see how they compare, but they’re generally reliable.
Overall, your build looks solid! I think you've made some great choices, especially for gaming. Just be aware of the RAM pricing, but it seems to be decent value. I'd definitely say go for it!
You've got some excellent deals in there! If RAM prices weren't so high right now, I’d say you're really onto something. Just keep an eye on performance vs cost, but it looks good!
Thanks for the heads-up! I hadn’t realized the difference in RAM speeds. What do you think about the brands you're suggesting? Are they well-regarded?
