I'm considering a new custom PC build and would appreciate some advice! My current setup from 2020 includes a 2070 Super and a Ryzen 7 5800X. I've created a new build list with some upgraded components, including the Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and a Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 GPU, but I'm open to suggestions. Here's the breakdown of my parts: [PCPartPicker Part List]. Anyone have thoughts or recommendations?

You might want to consider spending just a little more for a better GPU option. For instance, swapping your Radeon RX 9070 for the Gigabyte WINDFORCE SFF GeForce RTX 5070 Ti can give you a significant boost in performance. It'll add about $50 to your total cost, but it might be worth it! Here’s a link to a build I put together just for comparison: [PCPartPicker Part List].
For what it’s worth, I think your parts are awesome. I just put together a similar build and here’s my list: [PCPartPicker Part List].
Your build looks solid! The 7800X3D is a great choice, but I'm curious why you didn't consider the 9th gen AMD CPUs instead? Any specific reasons? Just wondering if you thought it was worth saving the cash!
I was debating it, but with the GPU I'm choosing, I didn't think the extra performance would be worth the price. What do you think?
I heard that the 50 series NVIDIA cards have been facing some black screen and driver issues, so keep that in mind.
