Asked by TechCrafter92
I'm in the process of building a new PC and I've already picked up a 5070ti graphics card and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. I'm looking for suggestions on what component to buy next before prices go up even more. Should I focus on getting a new CPU or an SSD? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I'd suggest trying to buy everything at once if you can, as warranties start counting from the purchase date, not when you use the parts. If thatโ€™s not feasible, focus on storage next since prices are rising quickly.

If youโ€™re looking for a more gradual approach, grab an M.2 drive and a motherboard first. Just ensure your RAM is compatible with the motherboard you pick, depending on whether youโ€™re going with AMD or Intel.

Definitely go for an SSD, like the Samsung Evo 970 2TB. It's super affordable right now and a solid choice for performance!

You might want to consider getting a good case or motherboard next. It's important to make sure everything, especially the GPU, fits well. If you're building something high-end, check out premium cases like Fractal Design or HAVN. Just a heads up; the X870 motherboards are basically just repainted B850s, so you might not need to spend extra for that.
