Hey everyone! I'm about to build my first PC and wanted to gather some advice. I've ordered most of my parts, but I'm picking up the Microcenter 9800X3D bundle this Saturday. I've done a bit of research and watched a bunch of videos, and I know that following the manuals is essential. Do you have any tips or tweaks I should consider before diving in? Thanks in advance!

If you can squeeze it into your budget, you might want to consider going for CL32 or CL30 RAM instead of sticking to CL36. The performance difference can really make a change!
Your build looks pretty solid! I wouldn't suggest changing much, but make sure you have a blank flash drive ready with the BIOS update on it, just in case your motherboard isn't updated. It's a good precaution to take!
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that BIOS update.
Hey, I'm building something quite similar! I’d love to know your thoughts on changes I should make to my setup: [ryzen 7800x3d and RTX 5070ti build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7wHK9C).
That’s interesting to know! The bundle I’m getting is CL36, so I might keep that in mind for future upgrades.
