I'm putting together a PC build and would love some feedback. Here are the details of my parts:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB 69.9 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
- **Storage**: KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G3 2 TB M.2 NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB
- **Case**: Antec Flux Rear ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM850x (2024) 850 W Fully Modular
I put this build together after comparing various components, but I'm getting it built at a store in Spain, which limits my options. You can find my build on the store's site for reference. I'm particularly concerned about temperatures, as my case comes with 5 pre-installed fans. Should I consider adding more fans, or is the setup sufficient? Any other thoughts on my build would be appreciated!

Why did you go for a full ATX board? You could save some cash by switching to a B650 or B850 mATX board with built-in Wi-Fi if you choose from your store’s offerings. Your case should provide solid cooling with fans positioned well under the GPU, so you're looking good there!
I didn’t realize the B650 EAGLE AX has integrated Wi-Fi, so I might let go of the separate Wi-Fi card. I’ve heard mATX can be cramped, which raises cooling concerns. But the price difference is just 20 euros, and the reviews for the board I chose are solid, so I might stick with it.
