Is My Gaming PC Build Solid or Should I Make Changes?

-

Hey everyone! I’m looking to build a gaming PC with the following specs:
– **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
– **GPU:** PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB Stealth Mode
– **Motherboard:** ASUS B650M-PLUS TUF
– **RAM:** G.Skill Flare X5 32GB (2 x 16GB)
– **Storage:** MSI SPATIUM M482 2TB
– **PSU:** Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2
– **Case:** DIYPC DIY-CUBE01
– **Cooler:** Razer Hanbo Chroma 240MM
– **Fans/Extras:** Thermalright TL-S12 3-pack

I’m aiming for an RGB ring look and my budget is around $1,500. I posted this before, but it got 500 views and no insights. Should I change anything in my build?

You might want to check the prices of all your components. Also, if you got the CPU, motherboard, and RAM as a combo deal from Micro Center, that’s a solid choice! Just make sure to look at the RAM speed and CL rating. That can affect your performance!

Yeah, I did get them at Micro Center. Thinking of switching up my GPU now!

For your GPU, the ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 looks like a good option at $150 less. But the GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT is also great. Considering your RGB theme, which one do you think fits better with the overall look of your build? You have a budget of $750 for the GPU, so you have some leeway there!

I think the ASRock looks better with my RGB setup!
