I'm putting together a budget PC mainly for 3D learning and some casual single-player games, along with a bit of Dota. Here's what I've got so far for my build:
- RTX 5070
- Gigabyte B650M D3HP motherboard
- Ryzen 5 7600
- Gigabyte C102 case
- Transcend 32GB RAM
- Kingston 1TB NV3 NVMe Gen 4 SSD
- PS Tech 800W +80 Gold power supply
- Cooler Master Z50 CPU cooler
I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on this setup! Thanks in advance!

Since you already have a cooler planned, I’d suggest skipping the Ryzen 5 7600, which comes with its own stock cooler. If you’re not planning to overclock, you could use that one. Alternatively, you might consider the 9600X, which offers better performance for a similar price, but I understand it could stretch your budget.
Just a heads up, the NV3 SSD might be using QLC flash, which isn’t very durable and can slow down after a few years. You might want to check out a TLC drive instead like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or the WD Blue SN580. They offer better longevity and performance overall.
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely look into those options!
Thanks for the suggestion! I need to stick to my budget, so I might just go with the stock cooler.
