Link to my build the app suggested, just wanted to see what anyone has to think, by the looks I’ll get good fps on mid tier graphics, maybe even high, but still wanna know everyone else’s opinions, bought about half if not more then half of the parts already, only things I didn’t buy were stuff that were crazy expensive, any over 150 close to that price

Ive been wanting to buy a pc for the longest time, ive been gaming on a a gaming alienware laptop. I was initally going to go for a prebuilt, but im not sure if that is the safe option anymore. This might look expensive, but im getting a bundle of the motherboard, cpu, and ram from microcenter.

But can someone help me decide if this is a good first pc? Are all the parts compatible with each other? Gaming, editing, streaming.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: MSI B850 MAG TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 WINDFORCE 12GB
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPO
SSD: WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe Gen4
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360mm AIO
Case: NZXT H6 Flow RGB
Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W Gold ATX 3.1
Operating System: Windows 11 Home USB
Keyboard: Corsair K55 RGB PRO XT (silent membrane option)
Mouse: Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2
Monitor 1: MSI MAG 272QP QD-OLED 240Hz 1440p
Monitor 2: MSI MAG 325CQF 180Hz 1440p ultrawide
Ethernet Cable: Cat6 25ft Ethernet Cable

I've finally saved up enough to splurge on a proper gaming pc but I have never built a pc before. I would like some guidance on the hypothetical build that I've made up using the pcpartpicker website. I haven't quite decided on the case yet so would also happily take recommendations.

the current build

I know it may be a bit excessive going for the 5090, but I did want to spoil myself a little here.

open to yalls opinions jst wanna keep it under $1000 lmk!!!

Right now I’m looking at using the 5070 paired with the ryzen 7 5800XT
Would using the 4070 which is a cheaper GPU make a noticeable difference and would it be a bottleneck for my current cpu I’m thinking of using?

Here’s the current idea of what to use in my pc:
CASE: Montech X5M micro ATX mini tower white
CPU: AMD ryzen 7 5800XT
MB: ASUS PRIME B550M-A
RTX 5070 EAGLE 12gb GDDR7
RAM: Timetec PINACCLE konduit white ddr4-3200 (2x16gb)
AIO: ARCTIC liquid freezer pro III
SSD: Crucial t500 1tb SSD m.2
PSU: ASUS TUF gaming 1000W fully modular

YOOO guys i need help.
Im not a big gamer, i built my pc in 2019 (or 2020 not that it matters lol i don’t remember) and nowadays i mostly play w my friends or when I’m bored (Ow2, Minecraft, Fortnite, resident evil etc…)
My cpu is intel core i5 10400 and my gpu gtx1650
NOW i know all the gamers out here will tell me to upgrade all but mostly the problems i get are not ingame (but if I’m upgrading already then i would like so my games run a lil smoother).
The main problem i get lays on my basic tasks like powering on my pc which takes about 10 minutes because it takes everything to load so long and running game launchers etc.
I did a little research and i found out that if i switch my hard disks to ssd (yeah I’m using hdd) it can help but idk if it will actually solve this problem and my motherboard supports only hdd or ssd that connects with a cable or something (idk how those things work my friend told me about this one)
ANYWAY do you guys think that twitching the disk to ssd will solve it? should i upgrade my gpu ( if so then please i need recommendations) or something else???
CONSIDER IM NOT A BIG GAMER SO I REALLY DONT NEED ANYTHING FANCY

I'm planning to build budget pc for light gaming and work

Ryzen 5 5500

Rx 7600

16 gb ram

Any suggestions or better options.

A few quick questions for the experts:

1. Bottom Fans vs Manual: I chose 3 individual 140mm NZXT Duo fans for the bottom intake instead of a single-frame block (safer if one dies). However, the case manual says the bottom fits "3x140mm fans" but only "up to a 360mm radiator". Will 3 individual 140mm fans actually fit down there without overlapping or clearance issues? Are individual fans tough to wire up for a beginner?
2. Intel vs AMD: I chose Intel mainly for QuickSync since I use DaVinci Resolve. Is the Core Ultra 7 the right call here, or should I pivot to AMD Ryzen for this workload?
3. Overall Check: Since it's my first time, do you see any physical incompatibilities, clearance issues with the Kraken 360 at the top, or major blunders?

Any tutorials or pro-tips for a first-timer are highly appreciated. Thanks!

I set a 2,000 eur budget and selected a store called notebooks billiger in Germany to buy the stuff from. I then consulted with a friend who knows a bit more about computers than me to get a second opinion. Here's what I got recommended in the end from both him and the store:

- Samsung 990 Pro SSD 1TB (€189 - it's on 40% sale)

- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (€397)

- Corsair RMe series 2025 RM750e (€99 - it's on 20% sale)

- Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Infinity 3 OC (€589)

- Fractal design Pop Air 2 Black Solid (€69)

- DeepCool AK620 G2 (€46)

Both Ram and SSD are on hold since they're incredibly expensive for now. I planned on buying a part or two every month or every other month - how's this build so far? Would you recommend any other parts or switch something? I'm not an rgb fan, and I don't want a tempered glass case.

This pc will be for gaming and design work with blender and unity overall. I already bought a monitor, hence not in the list here. It's a lenovo legion 27Q something with 300hZ. So I'd be playing at 1440p and I'm fine with that

Asus Prim a520m

CPU AMD RYZEN 5 5600

GPU RTX 3060 12 GB

Will my pc be good for games like half sword and teardown?
