I'm planning to build a PC with the following specs and would love to hear your thoughts or any advice on the components I've chosen. Here's the current list:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Mjolnir Vision 360 ARGB 69 CFM Liquid Cooler
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE ATX
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB
- **Case**: Lian Li LANCOOL 217 ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Asus Prime AP-850G 850 W 80+ Gold Certified
Total cost is around $2431.77. Any suggestions or comments on these components would be greatly appreciated!

The build looks solid! However, I'd recommend steering clear of ASRock motherboards for that CPU, as there have been reports of them causing issues like frying the X3D chips. Make sure to double-check lane sharing with the NVMe slot and GPU, as that can significantly impact performance if they share lanes. Also, if you're opting for air cooling, something like the Be Quiet! Pure Rock 5 Pro or Thermalright Assassin can be great and cost-effective options!
Just a heads-up, avoid using ASRock motherboards with that CPU; they can have some reliability issues. Also, check on your cooling situation; air cooling is usually sufficient. If your gaming resolution is 1440p, you might not need the top-of-the-line cooling. Just make sure your case has good airflow and you should be all set!
I think your parts are generally good, but it would be helpful if you could upload this to a parts list tool; it makes it easier for us to give you tailored advice. I'd also suggest that for the case, focus on good airflow and maybe keep your budget within under €100. There are plenty of great options that are both affordable and functional!
Definitely, a parts list helps so much! And yeah, airflow is key; I learned that the hard way with my last build!
Good point about the motherboard! I’d also suggest checking for other brands if reliability is a concern. It's crucial to know how the lanes work, especially with high-performance builds.
