Your list is pretty impressive! You’ve clearly put thought into it. Just make sure you check what cooling solution works best for your case and overall compatibility.
The parts you chose look really good together! Just a note: for the SSD, consider a TLC SSD like the Team Group MP44L for better durability and performance.
That SSD you mentioned actually has TLC, so it should work fine if you're not planning on super heavy usage!
Overall, your build looks solid! If you’re mostly gaming, you might consider switching the CPU to a Ryzen 5 9600X for better performance per pound, or if you want to future-proof a bit, go for the 7800X3D. Just a heads up, ASRock has had issues with their boards burning up with those X3D CPUs, so maybe choose a different brand to avoid potential headaches!
Absolutely right about ASRock! I’ve had my own share of troubles with it. I’d suggest checking out Asus or MSI instead.
Thanks for the tip! I've been considering what CPU to go with, so this helps a lot!
Or even look into options with DRAM, like the G70 Graphene, if you want something even better!
