Hey everyone! I just built a new system around the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and I'd love to get your thoughts on it. Here's the part list: [https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/FpJjgn]. I have a couple of questions:
1. Do you think my motherboard is overkill for gaming?
2. Are there any bottlenecks or compatibility issues I might have overlooked?
I'm open to making changes if there's a better setup out there. Budget isn't an issue, but I don't want to waste money on features I won't really use. Thanks for any advice!

Your PSU is solid! But about that 4TB SSD—are you sure you need all that space? If it's just for gaming, a cheaper 2TB might be more than enough for you. Plus, 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000 CL30 should be plenty for your gaming needs too, so maybe reconsider those specs a bit.
Sounds like good advice! If you’re just gaming, you don’t need to overspend on storage.
Regarding your motherboard, it might be a bit over the top depending on what features you need. If you're primarily gaming, consider whether you really need the extra features like USB 4.0. You could save some cash by going for a B850 motherboard instead.
But isn't it safer to have extra features in case you want to upgrade in the future?
True, but I’d rather not pay for things I won’t use now.
Yeah, I'm starting to think a smaller SSD could work just fine.
