You probably should get a cooler for that CPU, the stock cooler while fine does cause it to run hot. Also swapped out the motherboard, not a fan of Gigabyte motherboards for their lack of debug LEDs (a personal must for any system). This ASUS board should be fine instead. Everything else is fine. Good luck trying to find a 3070 for that price though.

I also recommend getting an aftermarket cooler of some sort. Temps are okay-ish with the stock cooler, but for me it was the noise. It's a small, fast-spinning fan and get really irritating.

 

Using a Noctua NH-U12S my load temps dropped 15-20 degrees C.

Great build, I switched the motherboard to a cheaper one (still a great B550 board) and added a better case and an aftermarket fan. The 980 is a nice drive! Great build overall.

Really good build, only thing id change is swapping the mobo for a b550a pro or b550 tomahawk
