Hey everyone! I'm looking for some feedback on my PC build before I start ordering the parts. I currently don't have a GPU lined up and I'm considering getting a regular 5070 unless I can snag a 9070xt or 5070ti. Here's my PCPartPicker list: [PCpartpicker list](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hMhCnp). Any thoughts or suggestions?

I see a few areas where you might want to make some tweaks. First off, do you live near a Microcenter? That can really impact your component choices!
If I were you, I'd swap the current motherboard for the Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX. It has better VRM heatsinks and gives you more M.2 slots and rear I/O ports, all for the same price. Also, think about upgrading to 6000 CL30 RAM. For the power supply, spend a bit more and get the NZXT C850 Gold ATX 3.1 - especially if you plan on going with an Nvidia GPU. And consider a better case from Corsair or NZXT, like the 4000D or H5 flow.
I switched to this [Montech PSU](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sqbypg/montech-century-ii-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-century-ii-850w) because of another suggestion. Is it worth spending extra for a nicer PSU?
Nope, I don't live near a Microcenter or Best Buy, so I’ll have to order everything online.
