Calling All PC builders

I just made this 1200 dollar build and need suggestions on improvements and any flaws. I just saved up the money and want to buy parts as fast as possible

Pretty good part list, I don’t have any recommendations but I guess if you have money you could get a 9070xt instead.

Good build Thanks for sharing!
The one little thing I would change is the M.2 drive try this

Better quality about the same speed & price

Your power supply is completely over-kill for a 65W CPU and 180W GPU, consider getting a 650W instead. Rosewill sells a model for $49.99 through Amazon which would be more than enough for this configuration.

The same over-kill statement applies to your dual-tower Assassin 120 SE, once again for about $20 less you could get a Hyper 212 Spectrum V3 or an Assassin X, and there would be no difference in performance or cooling on a 65W CPU.

These are not changes which affect performance, they just leave more money in your pocket to change other components. Maybe it’s enough of a change to be able to afford an RTX 5070, they’ve been on sale recently for under MSRP - and that’s a 35% jump in GPU performance.

Looks like a sick build! :trackball: I would take a look into potentially getting some kind of combo discounts when purchasing all your products with Newegg. Sometimes they randomly apply discounts when you purchase multiple components at once, together. I would also recommend this ASUS motherboard as for one its new and is also compatible with the ram kit you have in the list. I would also strongly go with a Samsung NVMe SSD Post pics when its done!
