Hey everyone! I'm planning to jump back into the custom PC building scene and I'd love your feedback on a setup I've got in mind. I'm going for an all AMD build this time, specifically in the Micro-ATX form factor for easier transport. I received this build suggestion from Deep Research at Gemini based on some specific requirements of mine, as I'm visually impaired and prefer AMD components due to accessibility issues with Nvidia's control panel. Here's the component list I'm considering:
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240 AIO (I also considered the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE for air cooling)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX (I was looking into the ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI as an alternative)
• RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
• SSD: WD Black SN850X 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0
• Graphics Card: Sapphire RX 7900 XT Pulse
• Case: Lian Li LANCOOL 205M Mesh
• PSU: Corsair RM850e (850W, 80+ Gold, ATX 3.0) (Considering the Seasonic FOCUS GX-850 ATX 3.0 as a backup)
I'd appreciate it if you could review these components for any potential issues or shortcomings. Thanks a lot!

Honestly, you don't really need an AIO cooler or even a dual tower air cooler for the 7800X3D, as it typically draws only around 60W during gaming. A more basic cooler would work just fine if you're looking to save some cash or prefer something simpler. Also, the RX 7900 XT is becoming outdated; check if you can snag a 9070 XT at a similar price, it's a stronger choice! Overall, looks great otherwise!
You might want to switch to the ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-E WIFI motherboard. It's typically a better choice than the B650M. Also, for the graphics card, consider the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB; it will handle ray tracing better in the long run, especially for demanding games. Just a heads up!
The components overall look solid! I wouldn't sweat it too much. Everything seems to be compatible and efficient for gaming.
Totally agree! If you start enabling ray tracing in heavy games, you might notice AMD cards struggling down the line. The RTX 5070 Ti could really shine for 4K gaming.
