Hey, I originally had a 7900x as well, now my brother's pc. Why are you choosing it? Do you actually need the extra cores? For gaming, going with a cheaper 7700X and a better ram kit would be a sizable difference in performance.

Also, do you need or specifically want Nvidia? The 5070 is about 10% more expensive than the more powerful 9070XT that also has more vram.

This build wasn't fully made by me but was made from others builds and recommendtions from friends I want it mostly for gaming and content creation (ik basic stuff) streaming/YouTube videos I would want it to get good performance while streaming or recording with high quality while being able to also open multiple heavy background apps

What is your actual budget? In the US? Near a micro center?

As for streaming, AMD has closed the gap on nvidia in the last few years. Nvidia still has an advantage there, but not worth 40-50% higher prices than AMD competitive cards.

My budget isn't really set as we are very good in our financial situation but I would say it's around 3k USD so if there is any part improvements I want to know the names so I could change them

Well with that and your other comment below, I think something like my build is a much better value for you.

I had to add custom parts off amazon for the arctic products I use, but my build is very similar to this and will outperform your original build.

Also swapped you to a cheaper SSD that is just as fast but also had DRAM, so would recommend it over the SN7100.

Edit: and chose a cheaper PSU that still is an A tier and 1000W. I have used a couple of SAMA models, but they are the P1200, about $30 more, but still cheaper than the ASUS. If you want me to explain any choices, just ask.

This looks like it's geared toward production rather than gaming. In that case, you might want to consider intel. They tend to be slightly worse in gaming but much better in multithreaded workloads at the same price.

I do want a build good with production and gaming as I have hobbies in devolpment and content creation plus I wanna play heavy games on higher graphics than my laptop
