Finalizing First Build - Need Help on Compatibility and General Feedback/Opinions

Budget (including currency): $1600~ USD

Country: US (near a Microcenter)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: All video games, General Purpose, nothing work/heavy CPU load related.

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):

Hello, I'm compiling my first ever PC build. I was interested in & set on using the new rtx 4070 to base my build off of (please this isn't a discussion on if I should get a 6950xt instead).

My usage will be mostly gaming and other general purpose. I do want to have a 2tb SSD & Wi-Fi on my mobo as well as the build being on the quieter end.

I think my PSU is adequate for the 4070's TDP. Additionally I already have a 4k 60hz monitor from a friend (I know I won't be able to play everything at 4k and that's fine, but I already have this monitor so I'm gonna use it).

I think I have my build mostly figured out but I just want confirmation I will have no compatibility/thermal/sizing/spacing issues, and am open to general feedback and opinions on the rest of the parts in my list (besides gpu).

Thanks in advanced!

The 7600 non X actually comes with an adequate CPU cooler in the box, so you can save the 60 bucks unless you want that Noctua cooler 🙂 
Rest of the build does look nice, can obviously tweak some here and there to save a buck or three but all in all, not bad.
If you can find RAM that has EXPO on it, its more likely to work without problems on AM5 system. Like the
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 5600MHz - part number KF556C36BBEK2-32 .

Hi, I made some slight changes to the build. If you where going with a white case then I got you some more white parts. Everything now has a touch of white on it if not all white. I really love white builds because I think it just makes the whole PC look amazing like how a landscape looks just after a snowfall and everything is covered with snow.

 

The only 2 major changes I made was the GPU, I got you the OC version since it's the same price, why not right? And the case I changed to the Fractal Design Pop Air. I also got you a 500GB Boot drive that has DRAM Cache for your OS and programs and a 2TB also w/ DRAM Cache.

 

I have been building PCs for 30 yours so if you have any questions please ask.
