I'm looking for feedback on my current PC build and would like suggestions for any improvements or changes without breaking the bank. Here's what I have so far:
- AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-core 16-thread processor
- ADATA XPG Lancer Blade DDR5 White 32GB (16GB x 2) 5600MHz CL46
- ADATA Legend 860 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD
- ASUS B850M AYW GAMING WIFI motherboard DDR5
- INNO3D GeForce RTX 5070 Ti X3 OC graphics card
- NZXT C850 Gold ATX 3.1 850W 80Plus Gold power supply in White
- Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Core II 360mm liquid CPU cooler
- LIAN LI LANCOOL 207 ATX case in Black
Any advice would be appreciated!

I recommend swapping out the liquid cooler for a dual tower air cooler. It could save you around $20-$25, and use that cash to get RAM with higher speeds (6000MHz) and lower latency. The performance boost from faster RAM could be significant for your CPU, and air coolers are more reliable over time without the risks of leaks or evaporation.
Consider getting a Thermalright Peerless Assassin cooler instead. It's cheaper, quieter, and really durable—should serve you well!
I think the RAM you chose could be better. Right now, Adata prices are pretty high, and the performance might not be worth it for the cost. Maybe check out other brands that offer better value? I’d also advise looking into an SSD that uses TLC flash instead of QLC, since QLC drives tend to slow down and degrade faster over time.
The Legend 860 isn’t the best choice since it uses QLC flash, which has lower durability over time. You might want to invest in another SSD that’s more reliable and performs better for a similar price.
