I'm building my first PC and would love some feedback on the components I've chosen. This setup is mainly for gaming, particularly AAA single-player titles like Cyberpunk and Far Cry. Since I have limited desk space, I'm leaning towards a mini ITX case and a 27" monitor. I already purchased the GPU and RAM earlier to avoid price hikes, so those won't change. Here's my updated parts list:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core - €314
- **CPU Cooler**: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 - €143
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B850I AORUS PRO Mini ITX - €281
- **Memory**: GOODRAM IRDM 32 GB DDR5-6000 - €397
- **Storage**: SanDisk WD Blue SN5100 2 TB NVMe SSD - €237
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC SFF GeForce RTX 5070 Ti - €910
- **Case**: Thermaltake TR100 Mini ITX - €121
- **Power Supply**: Corsair SF850 850W - €206
- **Monitor**: Asus ROG Strix OLED 26.5", 4K - €882
The total comes to €3491. Any thoughts?

You might want to consider going for a micro ATX (mATX) motherboard instead of mini ITX. That way, you can keep it compact but still have some more flexibility without breaking the bank. Check out this parts list for inspiration: [link].
Thanks for the suggestions! I did think about the Ryzen 9 9800X3D, but it costs around €150 more. Is it really worth that extra cash? I also ran into some issues finding the SSD, case, and PSU in my area, plus I'm not keen on glass panel cases.
