Final Adjustments Needed for build

[mrwisdom]

Country: US

Hey everyone! I'm finalizing my PC build and want to make sure everything is optimized before I purchase. Looking for feedback on any potential improvements, compatibility issues, or better alternatives. Here’s the planned build:

 

Questions: 

1. Is my cooling setup sufficient for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D + RTX 5090, or should I consider a different AIO?
2. Is DDR5-6400 CL34 the best memory choice for this build, or is there a better EXPO-tuned alternative like 7200?
3. Any other recommendations or areas for improvement?

CPU    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

If your intention is high quality 1440p-4k gaming then it's a waste of CPU power and your money. 7800x3D will be quite enough.

The money will be better spent on another 4TB 990 Evo Plus - storage is never enough.

If this is a gaming build then I'd consider these changes.

6000CL30, just like last gen.  

 

Are you knowledgeable about PC hardware or asking for component input?  Some of your choices are a bit overkill.

 

Especially when you don't list a use case.

If this is on Adobe Suite then yeah, just stick to the 8/16 core. If you want to have extra cores then get the cheaper 7900X or 9900X but beyond that it really doesn't make any sense, especially once you turn on GPU acceleration.
