Asked By TechWizard123 On

I'm looking for some feedback on my PC build, which I managed to put together for around $1,500. I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Windows 11. Here's the list of parts I have:

- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Motherboard**: Asus TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
- **Storage**: Silicon Power UD90 2 TB NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte AORUS ELITE Radeon RX 9070 XT
- **Case**: Lian Li Lancool 207 ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: ADATA XPG Core Reactor II 650 W 80+ Gold Fully Modular

What do you think?

You might want to consider upgrading your power supply to at least 750W. It’ll give you more room for future upgrades. Also, the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE is a newer model that could perform better.

Does the PSU need to be modular, or is that not a big deal?

Honestly, I don't think it's a great build. The 650W power supply is on the lower side for what you have. You need more power for future-proofing, especially with the current GPU requirements.

Is that really the main concern? I thought the rest of the parts were solid.

Your PSU is a bit small but should work for now. Just keep in mind it leaves little headroom for upgrades later. The AM5 setup is good for efficiency, but the CL36 RAM is slower than what you could get. I'd look for CL30 if possible.
