Hey everyone! I'm super excited because I finally get to build my own PC after having two prebuilt Alienwares (which I wasn't a fan of). I've put together a pretty high-end setup and checked everything for compatibility on PC Part Picker, so it should all work well together. I know some of my choices might be overkill, but I wanted to ensure there's room for growth in the future. Here are the parts I'm planning to use:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- GPU: RTX 5080 (I'll decide on the version based on what's available)
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B850-E Gaming Wifi
- RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64GB (2x32) DDR5-6000 CL30
- AIO: Corsair H170i Elite
- Case: NZXT Flow 7
- Storage: Lexar NM790 (2x 2TB or 1x 4TB, still undecided) NVMe
- PSU: Seasonic Vertex GX-1000W (80+ Gold)
- Case Fans: 7 Noctua NF-A12x25 and 3 Noctua NF-A14x25 for the radiator. (I know the case comes with fans, but I prioritized cooling and low noise.)
- Thermal Paste: Noctua NT-H2 AM5 if available, otherwise NT-H1
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
If you made it through my list, wow, thank you! I'd really appreciate any feedback you have. Whether it's "Great list, you did your research!" or "What were you thinking with X?!", I'm open to all thoughts.

Honestly, great job! But do you really need the -E version of the motherboard? It's usually pricier without adding much value. Also, what made you go for the AIO? Was it just for looks or do you want the water cooling?
This is an awesome list! No complaints from me, really. You've clearly done your homework. Expect to be super happy with this build for at least four years, maybe more!
Overall, it looks solid! Just a quick thought: do you have plans for a monitor? What are you using currently?
