1st time build, any notes or recs?

Gonna build my first pc for gaming. Price isn’t a huge factor with what I’m currently looking at. Just want to see if anyone has any notes or advice with the current parts I’ve selected. Cheers!

Not bad, I'd swap the mobo to a different brand, MSI or ASUS probably (I like the MSI Tomahawk), and try to find 6000MHz CL30 RAM if possible. Other than that, looks good!

Why the 6000mhz cl30 ram ?
Orallover1960@reddit
Don't bother changing the RAM. The difference between CL 36 and 30 with an AMD x3d CPU will be too small to notice for gaming.

Take a look. Changed some things. You should avoid ASRock board with X3D CPUs mate

Thankyou, why’s that? I’ve got no idea with this stuff
Born_Bad_1294@reddit
There have been instances of X3D CPUs burning/dying on ASRock motherboards. So you should avoid them for X3D CPUs

Ive got an 7 5700x3d on an asrock mobo, never had any problems

Do you think that your case of having no issues means the issues don't exist?
NinjaVikingTV@reddit
No? not at all even, I have had issues with my ram instead, but i dont see why youre reacting in such an aggressive way (at least that is how it seems to me I cant read intentions over text) about issues? Of course there are issues somewhere I just said that I didnt have any so I was confused about the issues and rather referring to what the issues are instead of saying "there are no issues because I dont have issues"

Are you trying to ask about what issues ASRock has had with AMD CPUs?
"I have had issues with my ram instead..."
"Of couse there are issues somewhere I just said that I didn't have any so I was confused about the issues and rather referring to what the issues are..."
Brother what are you trying to say?
Born_Bad_1294@reddit
It's been the case with the 9800X3D specifically.

I'd probably go aorus elite ice for mobo, asrock has some issues
Also Corsair shift white for PSU and a white 9070xt to keep with the white theme.
Other than that looks great!
