I'm working on a gaming PC build with a $2,000 budget, and I've got most of my parts selected from a Microcenter bundle. The total comes to about $1,842 since I'm reusing some components like case fans and storage from my old GTX 1080 setup. I already bought the ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti for $750. I'm prioritizing upgradability, which is why I'm choosing a high-quality power supply and an AM5 socket for future upgrades. The case looks good because this PC will be used in my living room for couch gaming and VR. I've been considering an upgrade option for the motherboard to the MSI X870E-P Pro WiFi for an additional $50, but the reviews are pretty mixed. Also, I recently upgraded to the Corsair RM850x power supply for $20 extra, and I forgot to mention that I have a 2TB WD Black NVME with a heatsink for storage. Any suggestions on changes or improvements?

Honestly, your build looks solid! The only thing I'd change is that small SSD since it might not be useful long-term, but I get that you probably had it from your previous setup.
Yeah, that's true! I did forget to mention that I have a 2TB WD Black NVME for storage, so hopefully, that makes up for the small SSD.
