First build

[tommatotje]

Hey, so recently i've put together a list of components for my first pc build with some help from people on this platform. 

I was wondering if you guys had any comments on this build? Please let me know if there is something i could change. :))

(PS: The reason why i need 8tb of storage is because i'm an editor/gamer so i need alot of space.)

The build looks good, but I don’t see a reason to use such an expensive AIO for the Ryzen 7 7700 non-X CPU since it is almost as expensive as the CPU itself. I would suggest switching to something like a Thermalright air cooler in white to match your white-themed build. If you are doing editing, I would honestly recommend going for a Ryzen 9 7900X or X3D model, but that depends on your budget.

I would recommend changing it to something like a thermal right air cooler in white, since I notice your aesthetic choice is a white pc build.

Thanks, i will change the cpu cooler so i could also maybe upgrade the cpu.

Sounds good! Just keep in mind that higher-end CPUs, especially an X3D chip, will use more power and need a good cooler. The air cooler I mentioned should work fine for a 7900X though.

What was wrong with the recommendation I gave on the other thread?

Nothing wrong at all, i just personally felt like something was missing.

I ended up going with the Ryzen 9 7900X and a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L ARGB V2 cooler. Hope this is good.

That sounds like a better choice than your previous one. Good luck, and I hope everything goes well for you in the end. In the future, you can upgrade to a 360mm AIO, but a 240mm AIO is a perfect starting point for you.
