Please let me know if you think anything here is unbalanced, overkill, underpowered, or if you have suggestions for better alternatives at the same price. Thanks so much for your help!

Samsung SSDs can be quite expensive. You might find other 2TB SSDs that perform just as well for nearly half the price. It's worth exploring cheaper options!
Heads up! Gigabyte GPUs have had some recent thermal paste issues where it spills onto the card under load. You might want to look into alternatives.
Honestly, I wouldn’t spend over $100 to cool a Ryzen 5. That said, your build is looking good overall. Just be mindful of the climbing prices for DDR5, so it's good that you’re moving forward now!
I think you might want to consider a cheaper air cooler or a more budget-friendly AIO, like Thermalright if they're available where you are. You could save that money and invest in CL30 RAM instead, which would perform better for you.
Seriously, you can find some clone AIOs for around $50 that work great!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into optimizing my cooler choice.
The VRM quality on your motherboard isn't the best; I suggest checking out the MSI B650/B850 Gaming Plus Wifi instead. It might be around the same price and generally offers better performance. The rest of your build looks solid though!
Appreciate the advice! I'll definitely check that motherboard out.
Thanks for the warning! Is the MSI GPU a better choice? I was looking at this one: [MSI GPU Link](https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/product/8VcBD3/msi-shadow-3x-oc-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-16-gb-video-card-g507t-16s3c)
