Suggestions for Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti Build

If budget isn’t an issue, I totally get wanting high-end parts. But remember, sometimes you can get almost the same performance for much less. For example, a RTX 5080 could be a smarter purchase instead of the 5070 Ti if it's in your price range! Still, sticking with high-quality cooling is key if you plan to overclock. I think the Kraken AIO is great, but there are also solid options under $250 that might serve you well! Just make sure you have a solid thermal solution.

You might want to simplify your build a bit. The x870 board and 7200MHz RAM are a bit over the top for most users. An 850W PSU should be fine for your setup, plus you could save some money by opting for a regular Gen 4 SSD instead of the Samsung 990 Pro. For cooling, consider looking at options like Thermalright for a more budget-friendly AIO—there are good models for around $60. Additionally, a decent B650 motherboard should serve your needs well without breaking the bank.
