I'm completely new to building PCs and I'm reaching out for some advice from all you knowledgeable folks out there!
I'm planning to build a gaming rig targeted for games like Marvel Rivals and especially Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which is quite demanding on hardware. I'm aiming to achieve the desired specifications using a Ryzen 9 7900X CPU and a Merc 310 Radeon RX 7900 XT Video Card.
Here's a list of components I've selected on PCPartPicker, and I'm not aiming for anything fancy; I'm more focused on functionality. I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether this build will work or if I need to make adjustments (in short, advice needed!).
My current component list includes:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 4.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
- **Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 Liquid CPU Cooler
- **Motherboard**: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 2 TB NVMe SSD
- **Video Card**: XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XT
- **Case**: Montech XR ATX Mid Tower Case
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM750e 750 W Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
*Total Cost: $1918.91*
Also, just to clarify, do I need additional case fans or a wired network adapter? I'm unsure if those are essential for this build.
**EDIT**: I've noticed that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is particularly CPU-intensive, so I want to ensure the processor is a strong point in this setup.

Welcome to the world of PC building! So, I checked out your parts and it looks solid overall. The Montech case should come with three fans, so you should be covered there regarding airflow. As for the wired network adapter, your ASUS motherboard has a built-in 2.5Gb/s Ethernet port, so you won’t need to buy one.
One tip: take a close look at the power consumption for all your components, especially the GPU and the CPU. I think the power supply you picked (750W) could be on the lower side for high-performance builds. More wattage may give you extra room for power spikes and future upgrades too. Just something to think about!
