Hey, I am a first-time builder trying to get some suggestions on my current build plan.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I will be using 2 monitors on this build.

Looks good, except I wouldn't buy a 3070 Ti at that price. You can get an RX 6800 XT for as low as $569.99 and it will be 18% faster than the 3070 Ti. 

 

Also, don't spend full retail on Windows 11. You can get a Windows 11 Pro key for about $20-30. Check out VIP-scdkey for a Windows 11 Pro key; many Tech Tubers are sponsored by them and I have used them in the past without issue.

New CPU coolers come with pre-applied or a small tube of thermal compound. There usually is no need to buy more.

if you want some extra budget to put towards a better gpu I would recommend something like this

(the gpu is used [meaning someone sent it back to amazon] but since it is thru amazon they quality check it and provide a new warranty for about 10usd, on top of that all evga cards have a three year warranty and the 3080ti has only been out for about 1.7 years)

ps: i would use the cinnamon flavor of mint.

i think a weaker CPU will help if u are a technical mc player because slow CPUs helps in tick dilation and better mob spawn manipulation soo...

like i said, weaker cpu, faster gpu and a well-ventilated build(ur previous build choke with the heat inside the case)

 

this is the best i could do
