I checked out your build and made a few tweaks. I swapped in the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for a little more power, and changed to a Thermalright Phantom Spirit cooler since it's cheaper but performs great. Overall, with those changes, your build could save you some cash and give you excellent performance! Total with my modifications is around $1941.78.
Looks solid! Just a thought, I’d consider switching the cooler to the Thermalright Phantom Spirit. It’s a budget-friendly option that does a great job for the Ryzen 7 while keeping things quiet. Worth checking out!
Good point! Noise levels are super important. I wonder if the variable RPM would impact performance during gaming. What’s your experience with that?
