My new PC build

[Maxinatr]

Hi! Some time ago, I finished building my first ever desktop PC setup. Previously, I'd run an old HP workstation, so for me, it's kind of a huge upgrade.

Specs:

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G GAMING TRIO OC

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
Motherboard: MSI X870E GAMING PLUS WIFI

Ram: 32GB Kingston FURY Beast Black DDR5

Storage: 2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus

Power Supply: MSI MPG A850GS PCIE5
CPU Cooler: NZXT KRAKEN 240
Case: NZXT H5 Flow (2024) All Black

Monitor: 27" Dell Alienware AW2723DF
Headset: HyperX Cloud 2
Keyboard: Some old Wireless Yenkee

Mouse: Logitech G305
Mousepad: Also some old Bloody mousepad

In the near future, I'm planning a full upgrade of my peripherals and also a second monitor. I would be grateful for any thoughts and tips for the upgrade!

Planned upgrade:
Second Monitor: 27" Dell Pro 27 Plus

Headphones: beyerdynamics DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm
Microphone: Fifine T688
Keyboard: Keychron Q6 HE (Carbon Black)
Mouse: Logitech G502 X LIGHTSPEED
Mousepad: Omnitype Botanical™ Deskpad

Simple, good!

If you want better CPU temps, put the radiator in the front in a pull config. You can then take out a fan and run with only one exhaust in the back.

Would recommend getting a second intake fan in the front.

 

Also, see if your antenna fits on the back. The back is almost certainly magnetic. You will likely have the same exact network performance, and it looks way better.

I was thinking about getting more fans for the front, and also thanks for suggesting the antenna placement.
