Hey everyone! i recently started to look into building my own PC for the holidays, as the current PC i have was build by a friend of mine around 2016~ if i believe, im still very new to building PC's, or PC'S in general, so i was wondering if anybody would have any suggestions/changes on this build! my main concern is the motherboard, as it does everything i need it to, but i feel like i could probably find something cheaper that does everything i need it do, i only got the WIFI model as it had a sale going on at the time, but is no longer.

the Speccy screenshot is what im currently running, and the Pcpartpicker screenshots are the build i want.

thank you in advance for your suggestions and changes!

Your list was in USD instead of CAD, so a lot of cuts had to be made.

 

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/NMGtRv

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor  ($283.95 @ shopRBC) 

Good value CPU.
CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK620 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler  ($79.99 @ Canada Computers) 

Great performer for the price.
Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($154.99 @ Amazon Canada) 

Decent B550M board because X570 is unnecessary.
Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory  ($134.99 @ Canada Computers) 

Better value RGB RAM.
Storage: Western Digital Blue SN570 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive  ($105.95 @ shopRBC) 

Better value good performance SSD
Storage: Silicon Power A60 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive  ($165.99 @ Amazon Canada) 

Great value decent SSD
Video Card: Gigabyte Vision OC GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB Video Card  ($819.00 @ Canada Computers) 

Cheapest 3070 Ti.
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case  ($139.99 @ Best Buy Canada) 

Cheaper and still great case.
Power Supply: MSI MPG A750GF 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  ($129.99 @ Memory Express) 

Cheaper PSU, still the same quality as RMx, 850w is overkill for 3070 ti.
Total: $2014.84
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
