Help with my 2000$ pc build

I bought a rog strix 5070ti and want to see what parts would be best to build around it
I can use microcenter bundles as well if needed

So, your budget for everything outside the GPU is $2000?
Do you need a monitor? peripherals? Or just the tower and related components excluding the GPU?

my budget the 2000 with the gpu (gpu was 1000$) but im willing to go 100-200 dollars over if needed and yes just the tower and related components.

These parts. This bundle.
Tried to keep it under $1000.
CPU: 7800x3d. to upgrade to the 9850x3d it'll be an extra $100 if you want to stretch it. I'd get the 9850x3d bundle over the 9800x3d bundle if you do upgrade, as it comes with a better motherboard.
Cooler: peerless assassin. It'll get the job done if you're gaming, for sure. After long sessions you might hit around 75 degrees, which isn't bad for the chip, but depending on your fan curve, it might start making a bit of noise. But if that doesn't bother you, this is definitely a good enough cooler for gaming.
SSD: nothing special. Good for the price for sure, good durability.
Case: nothing special, good cooling. If you did want to upgrade, I'd suggest the Lian Li Lancool 217. Top 3 best cooling cases.
PSU: good quality good price, not much to be said.

Hey, I'm building a PC with a similar budget and using this comment as a guide. It's super-super-super helpful, so thank you! You seem to suggest that the cooler here is the weakest part. If I had a few extra bucks to spend on a good cooler, is there anything better you'd recommend? Thanks.

If you want a good budget to performance AIO, I'd get the arctic liquid freezer III.
That model also comes in ARGB for an extra $10.
Therre are cheaper $50 360mm AIO options, but for the most part, they don't cool any better than the peerless assassin 120SE, and their durabilty isn't the best, so they seem to be mainly for only the aesthetic.
Whereas the Liquid Freezer has great performance, and people are saying the pump quality is good.
A decent AIO will last you about 5 years before it needs to be replaced.

Thanks a ton!

7800x3d + b650 + 32gb 6000 cl30. dont overspend on the board. 850w quality psu and ur done. if microcenter has a 9800x3d bundle near the same price then grab that instead.

At my current micro center the 7800x3d bundle is 600$ and the 9800x3d bundle is 680$

I am currently using a similar system. A great combo between an AMD CPU and a the nVidia 5070ti GPU.

This bundle, these parts.
Tried to keep it under 1K for you.
To upgrade to the 9850X3D would be another $100.. I'd go with that bundle over the 9800X3D bundle because it comes with a bit better of a motherboard. I'd personally go for the 9850X3D bundle if you can stretch it.
CPU cooler: Peerless assassin, it'll get the job done. If you're just gaming with it, it'll be more than fine, but for long heavy gaming sessions you'll see 75 degrees or so, potentially higher depending on your ambient room temperature. These temperatures aren't bad for the chip, just making you aware. And depending on your fan curve, it might start making some noise if you have the fans set aggressively to cool the chip.
SSD: decent little SSD. Again, not the best, but it's plenty fast, and I wanted to stay within budget.
Case: standard case. If you wanted to upgrade this, I'd suggest the Lian Li LanCool 217. Looks cool, and has some top tier cooling. for a case out of the box.
PSU: A- tier PSU, good price, good quality. Not much to say about this.
