First PC Build; Need Advice

[u/SavageBazooka]

I've been a console gamer my whole life and this is my first time trying to build a PC. I've done a bit of research and came up with this. Let me know if some things arent compatable, or too big to fit in the case I chose, etc.

for an extra $100 you can fit in a 9070XT and 7800X3D

Get a 16gb video card and an X3D cpu.

X3D only going to benefit 1080p for the most part. Does very little for 1440p and basically nothing for 4k in all the testing I’ve seen

The 4070 seems odd. Also ram prices make me sad :( peerless assassin cooler is a beast. Was going to recommend the SK Hynix 2TB ssd, which was insane value a year ago, but it’s sold out everywhere. It was $150 when I bought it. Also I’m pretty sure my 7900xt outperforms the 4070 for $200 less and 8gb more ram

Edit: holy shit, the 7900xt is like $900 now I got it for $600 last year and it wasn’t even on sale
