I just pulled the trigger on these components. Aiming for a top-tier gaming experience. Did I make the right choices, and are there any improvements or things I should look out for?
AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Boxed
MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK WIFI
Fractal Design Epoch, Black TG Light Tint
Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36
NZXT C850 Gold Core
Lexar NM790 4TB
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

That's very similar to my build and I'm very happy with what I've got. Looks good to me.
iTz_Time@reddit (OP)
Nice to hear. What is different with your spec?
RumbleTheCassette@reddit
Same CPU, GPU, and RAM. Different everything else. But performance-wise they'd likely be basically identical I imagine.

At that price point, why a 9070xt over a 5070ti?
iTz_Time@reddit (OP)
not sure what u mean, since I didnt even have prices listed.
PHIGBILL@reddit
Ehat price point? OP hasn't even qouted one.
Jman85@reddit
The price of the parts listed. Extract a price paid for them to arrive at a price point.

bought the 9070 xt new for 450

Recently? Where?
PHIGBILL@reddit
Hes just edited the post, originally he hadn't posted any prices or price points, hence why your comment made now sense.
iTz_Time@reddit (OP)
Yea, half the price of the 5070ti and they are even in raw power, so its a no brainer.
iTz_Time@reddit (OP)
added prices

Am I missing something? I'm not seeing pricepoints here.
PHIGBILL@reddit
Without a price, we'll never know.
iTz_Time@reddit (OP)

Looks fair, especially the 9070XT, if anything that's a steal.
psimwork@reddit
These look like really solid options to me. Assuming you didn't pay more for the Corsair RAM than other options (because Corsair RAM usually carries a stiff brand-tax, but not always).

Looks good to me. Enjoy your new PC!
