Looking for Final Tips Before Committing to My New Gaming Build

-

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since my last gaming rig got wrecked, but I’m finally ready to dive into building a new one. I’ve put together this parts list on PCPartPicker and I’m super excited about it. I want to keep most parts black to match my case, but I’m tempted by some RGB goodies and the temperature monitor options, which is why I chose certain fans. I’m also debating between two different RAM options; there’s a £50 difference for the RGB version, but I might just go for it if it looks good! Just a heads up, this build is mainly for gaming. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like a solid build, but have you considered the AMD 9800x3d instead of the 9950x3d? They perform similarly in games, and swapping could let you upgrade to a higher-tier PSU, since the one you chose is rated C+. Might save you some cash!
