I'm pretty new to building PCs and I'm looking for some advice on my current build before I go ahead with it. My budget is around $2500, and here's what I'm considering:
- Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Lian Li Galahad II Trinity cooler
- Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WIFI6E motherboard
- G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 32 GB (2x16 GB DDR5) RAM
- Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 SSD
- Gigabyte Gaming OC GeForce RTX 5070 with 12 GB
- Lian Li Lancool 217 INF case
- Corsair RN950x (2024) 850 W power supply
I'm based in the United States, but unfortunately not near a Micro Center, so I'm wondering if there's anything I should change or consider before making my purchase?

What’s your primary use for the build? If you’re mainly gaming and doing some editing, the 9070 XT could really boost your performance. Also, you could save some cash on your RAM by exploring options like Corsair Vengeance that are well-reviewed and might come in cheaper. If you share your prices, it could help with suggestions!
I'm planning to use it mainly for gaming and video editing.
