Hey everyone! I've been diving deep into PC parts and feel ready to take the plunge and build my own setup. Before I finalize my purchase, I'd love to get your input on my current build plan. Here's what I'm looking at:
- **CPU**: Ryzen 5 7600X3D
- **GPU**: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GAMING Overclocked Triple Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 5.0
- **Motherboard**: B650E-E TUF AM5 ATX
- **RAM**: Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000
- **SSD**: XLR8 CS3140 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe
- **Case**: MAG FORGE 321R AIRFLOW Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower
- **PSU**: MAG A750BE 750 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Semi-Modular
- **Cooling**: Liquid Freezer III Pro ARGB 360mm All in One
Any recommendations or changes you think I should consider? Thanks!
P.S. Totally didn't forget to list my GPU... just had a little brain slip!

I noticed you're going with a 750 Watt Bronze PSU. I'd suggest looking for an 80+ Gold semi-modular or even a full modular unit instead. It'll give you better efficiency. Also, you might want to consider the storage; you picked a Gen 4 SSD but your motherboard supports Gen 5 m.2 slots. You could check out the Fanxiang 2TB Gen 5 SSD, which has insane speeds at 14000MB/s and is quite affordable right now!
Another option would be their **S880** model; it's Gen 4 but has 7300MB/s speed and could save you some cash. You might be able to get a 2TB and a 1TB for a great deal with discounts!
Thanks for the heads up! I'm getting everything from Micro Center, and it's costing around $1300, but I'm flexible on the budget. I'll definitely check out that SSD!
