Nice build you've got there for your first time! For the GPU, consider going for a $4070 Ti instead of the RTX 5070 since it offers similar performance at a lower price and comes with 12GB VRAM, which is great for gaming. Also, if you think about an AMD GPU like the 9070, you'll likely get better performance for gaming. Just my two cents!
I think you did great choosing these components! Just a couple of tweaks: for the GPU, look at getting the Gigabyte Gaming 5070, and for the motherboard, I'd recommend the Asrock B850 Pro RS WiFi. Historically, they have outperformed the TUF boards in benchmarks. Also, double-check the cooler you have; make sure it can handle the AM5 9600X properly!
