I'm about to finalize my first PC build featuring a Ryzen 7 7800x3d and RX 9070 XT. I'm heading to Micro Center soon, so I would love any last-minute suggestions or feedback on the components. Here's the parts list I'm considering: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/charifom/saved/GPh66h.

Consider grabbing one of the newer 9800x3d or 9850x3d bundles for around $699. It might offer better performance for your build!
You could find a pre-built system that's cheaper if you adjust a few components, like choosing a different AIO cooler or going for 32 GB of RAM. Just make sure to compare prices!
Plus, if you live near Micro Center, you can avoid shipping and potential return hassles, which is a big plus.
I'd suggest considering an equivalent Nvidia card instead. AMD hasn't been as reliable with updates for their 6000 and even 7000 series. Future-proofing is important, especially with upscaling tech on the rise.
It seems like the link you posted is incorrect. You might want to check it out again or use the permalink feature on PCPartPicker for better visibility.
Your parts list looks solid! Hope you enjoy the build. It's an exciting experience!
Do you think that upgrade makes a significant difference? I'm also in need of a monitor, so I'm trying not to overspend.
