Hey everyone! I'm building my first gaming PC and have finally found a 5070Ti at MSRP plus a 10% off coupon from a well-known store. I'm looking for opinions on my part choices, especially since I'm a little wary about the 9800X3D due to reports of it failing. Here's my build link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Zrpnp. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

You’re right to be cautious about the 9800X3D—it seems most of the issues have been linked to ASRock motherboards. If I were you, I'd consider getting an MSI or Gigabyte board instead to minimize any risks. That way, you should be in good shape!
I was aware of the ASRock issues, but some say they’ve fixed it with recent BIOS updates. Plus, the ASRock has some nice perks like PCIe 5.0 and WiFi 7. Should I still switch to a different brand?
