Hey everyone! I'm looking for some help with my PC build. I'm not super experienced with this, and I previously bought a system from an online store that went out of business. Now, I found a local shop that can help assemble it if I bring them the parts, but they seem pretty busy lately. So, I want to gather everything needed first, just in case I need to go elsewhere. My budget is between $7,500 and $8,000, and I've based my parts list on suggestions from a chatbot. I'd love your expertise to take a look at my list and see if there's anything I should change or improve. Aesthetically, I'm going for something sleek, but performance-wise, I want it to be top-notch! Thanks in advance!

I recommend switching to a 4TB drive instead of using two 2TB drives. Also, consider upgrading to a 9800X3D or 9950X3D for better performance. The motherboard could also use an upgrade; an 870 model might perform better than the older 670 you're looking at.
What will you primarily be using this build for? Is it just for gaming or do you need it for productivity as well?
I'll be doing a lot of rendering for my clients, especially in CAD, and I also play games like Apex, Siege, and Destiny 2. I believe in getting quality gear once, but my current laptop is really outdated.
Fair point, but keep in mind that the 870 might have issues with CPU compatibility. Still, I think the upgrade suggestions are valid.
