I'm building my first PC and have done some research on the parts I'm interested in. I think I've got a solid list, but I'd love some extra opinions to ensure everything is compatible. I'm also open to suggestions for replacements or upgrades if anyone has thoughts. Here's the link to my current build: [PCPartPicker List](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/CrNr3w). Thanks in advance!

Everything looks compatible from what I can tell, but you might want to check for cheaper options on the SSD and RAM. Just make sure they fit your needs for speed and capacity!
When it comes to RAM, pretty much anything should work as long as you keep the amount in mind. Some people go for 16GB, while others prefer 32GB or even 64GB depending on their use.
For SSDs, stick with known brands to avoid issues with data corruption—it's definitely worth investing in a trustworthy one!
Got it, I think I’ll opt for a cheaper 32GB option. I don’t want to skimp on the SSD if it’s that crucial!
Your build seems pretty solid! Here’s a detailed look:
- CPU: The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is great for gaming and multitasking.
- Cooling: The Thermalright Peerless Assassin is a good choice to keep temperatures down.
- Storage: While the Kingston NV3 2 TB SSD is decent, maybe look for other brands that get better reviews for reliability.
Just ensure your PSU can handle everything!
I appreciate the feedback! Does it make sense to consider the 9800 instead of the 9600? Is the performance difference worth it? Also, how do the 5070 ti and 5080 compare in terms of performance?

Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely look for some cheaper alternatives. Are there any key things I should consider when choosing different RAM or SSDs besides just the price?
