I'm about to build my first PC and I'm seeking advice on my current build setup. This PC will be used for both productivity tasks, mainly compiling software, and gaming. I currently game at 1080p with a 240Hz monitor, but I plan to upgrade to 1440p in the future, so performance in both areas is important to me. I primarily use Linux, which is why I'm focused on choosing an AMD GPU. My budget is 10,000 RON (about 2,200 USD). Here's what I have so far:
- **CPU**: Ryzen 9 9900X
- **GPU**: Sapphire RX 9070 XT
- **RAM**: Kingston FURY Beast 32GB 6000MHz CL30
- **SSD**: Kingston KC3000 1TB
- **Motherboard**: ASUS TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RMe Series 2025 RM850e, 850W
- **Cooling**: ARCTIC AC Liquid Freezer III 360 AIO, along with Corsair RS Series 2x 140mm and 1x 120mm fans
- **Case**: Corsair FRAME 4000D
My fan configuration is: AIO on top, 2x 140mm in the front, and 1x 120mm in the back. What do you all think? Would you change anything?

Hey there! Your build looks solid! If possible, consider upgrading to a 9950X3D for even better performance, especially in gaming thanks to the extra 3D cache. Also, check out the Corsair RM series or maybe even a Seasonic for the PSU; they have a great reputation, though the one you picked should be fine too!
Just a heads up, the 9950X3D is pretty pricey in Romania—almost double the cost of the 9900X, and it’s hard to find right now. I saw you mentioned you updated your PSU already, cool choice!
