First time building a PC

[Spelliot5]

Budget (including currency): 1300

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, Valorant, COD/Warzone

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): Im coming from playing on a Xbox series x and wanted to make the switch, 

My PC Specs that I want to get

Corsair RGB ddr5 ram 32 gigabytes

Corsair RM750x 

Radeon Rx 7700xt

Crucial P3 plus 1tb

Ryzen 7700xt

MSI pro b650m

Corsair 3500x case

Windows 11 operating system

Thermalight Peerless assassin 120 se

Is there anything on here that might not work well or can be better optimized? Im already thinking of upgrading from a thermalight 120 se to a Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX LCD Liquid CPU Cooler.

What CPU are you getting? Just to let you know, the 'Ryzen 7700xt' that you mentioned is not a graphics card, the graphics card name would be "Radeon 7700xt".

The AMD Ryzen 7700x is my CPU and yes my graphics card is the Radeon 7700xt

Wow, I got confused! I'll take a look into your build and hopefully get around to reply to you!

Yes that would be great, In complete honesty I asked chatgpt for help with this build. And these parts are compatibility are all from AI and I was just wanting some human input.

Was Windows 11 supposed to be included in the $1300?

Corsair very overpriced these days for what you get (more accurately don't get). Try something like this. Warmly recommend spending $50 more but if $1300 is hard cap we can cost cut. Extra 5 120mm fans to ensure good airflow through all the case:

Okay. I'll change your build to what I would get - Corsair is a good brand but overpriced.

[Spelliot5]

Thank you, if its possible could you find another 32gb of ram that still keeps the rgb but isnt insanely priced. Because i am paying for this outta my own pocket

Here's a cheaper but same performing build (with RGB RAM!)

Tell me if it's good or needs to be tweaked. You can tweak yourself by pressing "Edit this Part List" on the top!

BTW, liquid cooling won't really help with anything on a system like this. The current crop of 8-core Ryzen chips like the 7700X, 7800X3D, 9700X, and 9800X3D all have low enough power draw that the performance difference between a liquid cooler and a decent dual-tower air cooler like the PA120 will be basically nothing. The main reason to buy a liquid cooler for a CPU of this caliber would be aesthetics rather than performance.

[Spelliot5]

Thank you both for helping me with this, its been really helpful!
