Hey everyone! I just put together a gaming PC using PCPartPicker, and I would love your feedback on it. I'm hoping to learn more about building PCs, so any technical advice or suggestions on what I should keep or change would be amazing! Below is a list of the components I chose, along with their prices.

If you have some budget flexibility, consider investing in a mini LED or OLED monitor. With a build like yours, that kind of display would really elevate your gaming experience—it's a worthy upgrade!
Your build is pretty powerful, but it is also super pricey. For a gaming rig, the AMD Ryzen 9950X3D might be overkill. If you’re mainly gaming, consider the 9800X3D or 9850X3D instead; they actually perform better for gaming tasks. Also, is there a reason you opted for the X870E motherboard, or would a more affordable B850 do the trick? Lastly, that cooler’s price tag is mainly because of its fancy LCD screen—do you really need it? Oh, and if you stick with 64GB of RAM, it’s better to just use 2x32GB; four modules can lead to less stability with DDR5. Just some food for thought!
Overall, it looks solid but spending $6000 and not going for a 5090 seems like a missed opportunity. I get that you might not need it for current gaming, but if you're planning on future-proofing your setup, it might be worth considering. Plus, if you’re focused on gaming at 4K or 8K, the 5090 would be more suitable. Just a suggestion!
Aren't the 5090s geared towards 4K and 8K gaming though?
Got any suggestions for a better video card?
