I'm looking to build a PC with the following specs and would love any insight before finalizing my purchase. Here's what I have in mind:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Tray
- CPU Cooler: THERMALRIGHT Phantom Spirit 120 EVO ARGB (Black)
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B850M-A WIFI
- Memory (RAM): Patriot Viper Elite 5 16GB DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 x2 (White)
- GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti WINDFORCE SFF 16GB GDDR7
- Storage: Samsung 990 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 1TB
- PSU: Corsair RM850X
- Case: Corsair 3500X RS-R ARGB Mid-Tower (White)
These are the best prices I found in my country that fit my requirements of having the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 5070 Ti, and 32GB RAM. Are there any known issues with these parts or anything I should consider before I buy?

You might want to consider a full ATX motherboard instead of mATX. The mATX boards have limited connectivity and can look awkward in larger cases. For a high-end build like this, spending an extra $30 for a full ATX isn't a big deal. Also, look into the RAM—a CL36 variant could save you some cash.
That build looks like a powerhouse! You're going to have quite the rig. Make sure to enjoy it once you have it set up!
Thanks a ton! I'm really aiming for a beastly setup. Just wanted to check if any of these parts have a reputation for issues.
I appreciate the advice! I admit I haven't done as much motherboard research as I should have. Regarding the RAM, I can get the CL30 for $450, which is a deal considering it's usually $600-650 here. Do you have recommendations for a full ATX AM5 motherboard with WiFi and Bluetooth, plus at least 1 PCIe Gen 5 and 1 PCIe Gen 4 slot?
