Need some opinions on this list.

Opinions on a build

I’m wondering what you guys think this is perfect for my budget and wondering if there are things that could be better. I currently have a 1080p monitor but will certainly upgrade to 1440p in the future.

you didn't mention what budget you have, and also i think you copied the pcpartpicker stuff incorrectly

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

do you need a motherboard with built in wifi? if not you could probably save a bit there, aswell as getting an m.2 that isn't the 970 evo, sure it's a good SSD but it's also name brand samsung so it's more expensive compared to a crucial or an Intel m.2, and with that money saved you could possibly get a better cpu to pair with your gpu

No I do not need WiFi it was more of a luxury but in hindsight it would be better to go for a better cpu but the next best goes to around 500

Very hard to find Ryzen 5000 series CPUs at a decent price right now. The 3900x is still a very good option however, the 3070 isn't in stock anywhere so i put it in as its msrp and left about $100 left of budget so when they start coming back down (which will hopefully be sooner rather than later) you can snag one at a decent price. I would recommend turning notifications on for all of the major websites or checking your local store tech store just in case they got a batch of stock in.

Wow thank you so much, but I think the 3900 comes with a cooler would it be worth the price for a most likely quieter cooler or is it just better all around?
