Hey everyone! I'm finally upgrading my PC for the first time in 5 years and wanted some thoughts on my build. Initially, I considered the 7800X3D, but it's way more expensive, so I opted for something more budget-friendly. Also, I'm planning to go for 64GB of RAM since my current 32GB gets over 60% usage with all the browser tabs I keep open and streaming I do. What do you think? Is there anything in my build that stands out as wrong or needs changing? You can check out my parts list here: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K6wkrM)

If you're considering the 7800X3D, you might want to think about whether you really need the overclocking capabilities it offers, especially since it has limited overclocking headroom. In a small form factor case, overclocking doesn't make much sense. Maybe you could just stick with what you have planned.
Also, I’d suggest getting a simpler 2TB SSD for backup storage instead of two separate SSDs unless you have a specific need for running two operating systems. That should save you some trouble and money! Check out this alternative build: [Alternative Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZTXM74)
Thanks for the input! Do you really think the 7800X3D is worth the extra $200? I'm pretty tight on my budget.
