I'm putting together my first PC build and I've already purchased some parts. I've got an RX 9070 XT graphics card, an MSI B850 Tomahawk motherboard, a 7800X3D processor, and 32GB of T-Group CL30 6000Hz RAM. I'm looking for advice on whether these components are compatible with each other for 1440p gaming and if they'll fit well together in the case. I haven't bought the remaining parts yet, so any guidance would be appreciated!

Just a heads up, it seems like you're looking at some pricey parts. That $200+ price tag for a 2TB NVME SSD is quite high. And even for RAM, you might want to double-check current prices. If you're planning to reuse the SSD from your old PC, that’ll save you some cash. For Windows, go for the retail version that's the cheapest—it'll help you out in the long run when reinstalling.
Yeah, I’m trying to figure out the OS part too! Sounds like a smart move to find some cheaper keys online.
Your build looks solid for 1440p gaming! The RX 9070 XT should handle most games beautifully at that resolution. Just make sure your power supply is adequate to support these components. Also, check that your case has enough room for the graphics card—sometimes they can be pretty hefty!
I totally get the concern about prices! I'm also reusing an SSD from my old build and it's working great. Just make sure you get all your drivers ready for the new setup!
