I'm putting together a new PC and would love to get your thoughts on my build. Here are the specs:
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
**CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
**Motherboard:** ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi (ATX AM5)
**Memory:** Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
**Primary Storage:** Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe SSD
**Secondary Storage:** Seagate BarraCuda 4TB 5400RPM HDD
**Video Card:** Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
**Case:** Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact (Black, Tempered Glass)
**Power Supply:** be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W 80+ Gold (Fully Modular, ATX 3.0)
I already have most of these components, but I'm open to making swaps if you have any suggestions. I plan to build it this weekend!

Great choice going with AMD! Have you considered what your budget would be to upgrade to the 9070 or 9070 XT? It might be worth it if you find a good deal. Just a heads up, some people love the performance of the Nvidia cards too, so it's really about what you're comfortable with!
It looks like a solid build overall! I noticed you have the RX 9070 XT. It's great that you got a good deal on it, as it recently replaced the 7900 XT and performs well for gaming. Just make sure your case has adequate cooling for that power setup!
Thanks! I double-checked, and everything's looking good for cooling. Excited to see how it performs!
Actually, I am going with the 9070 XT! Just a little oversight on my part. My friend had an Nvidia card, but I wanted to return to AMD since I owned a Radeon back in the day!
