First PC during hard times, is this a good build?

I’m tryna get good performance for gaming at high fps for 2k and about 60-90fps for 4K (mostly single player cinematic and online games that look good) while not breaking the bank too much (hints why I went for a ddr4 build) and just using it to start a career in voice acting while looking pretty enough. Did I do a good job or do something’s need to change and why? (Already have the GPU, CPU, RAM, and SSD while they were a lot cheaper)
CPU: i9 12900K
GPU: PNY GeForce RTX 5070
Motherboard: MSI PRO B760-P WIFI
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 16GB ddr4
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2Tb
PSU: Montech CENTURY II 850 W 80+ Gold
Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro
Fans: Thermalright TL-M12Q-S 1 x 3 (intake to replace radiator fans)
Thermalright TL-M12Q-S reverse 2 x 3 (5 intake, 1 exhaust)
Extra: Thermalright ARGB Fan HUB,
RB-001X Radiator Bracket

comrade for that budget you go am5 ddr5 with 32 gigs of ram and a 9070xt, this build is way better

I bought GPU, cpu, ssd, and ram before the prices shot up so that value is not my actual budget. At the time of buying those parts to avoid getting screwed over in the future it was the only choice I had cause ddr5 was raising like crazy at the time.

Odd saying you are on budget but picked most expensive Nvme and swapped fans. Was 12900k $200 or less? Why not 14700k.

I got a good deal for it, I was originally going for a i7.

rather go with 7800xd, 9070xt, a cheaper aio like an aqua elite v3, a cheaper case like a v100r, no additonal fans, a cheaper pcie 4.0 ssd

You're spending ~$300 on case, fans and CPU cooler. That could be <$100 combined if you are actually trying to save money.

Solid foundation overall! DDR4 is a smart budget call and keeping your existing GPU/CPU/RAM saves a ton. Make sure your motherboard and PSU are quality picks — those two are easy places to cut corners that you'll regret later. For 4K cinematic single-player, your GPU is going to matter most, so if you can share the full part list someone here can sanity-check everything together. Good luck with the voice acting career too a quiet, well-ventilated case will help if you're recording at your desk.
