Bought my first PC. Building it tomorrow. How did I do? Should I change anything out now?

I spent hours researching. Goals were high frame rate 1440p gaming, and decent 4k gaming if I wanted. I built this PC to also handle moderate workloads of video/photo editing. I wanted everything new, sealed, and warrantied for my first go at building, so all purchase prices reflect that. If you feel I over paid or could've chosen something better for the price please let me know, as I could return any of this and get something else. Its all still sealed in boxes.

CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 9800X3D - $300.56

MB: GIGABYTE B850 GAMING X WF6E- $149.96

RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL36 - $429.47

(Above 3 were Microcenter Bundle, I wanted CL30 OR CL32 RAM but couldn't swap)

GPU: PowerColor Reaper AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $689.99

SSD: Samsung SSD 990 PRO 1TB - $239.99

Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO - $42.41

PSU: Corsair RM850x ATX 3.1 - $139.99

Case: Montech Air 903 Max - $79.97

(GPU -> Case from Amazon)

Total $2108.33

need help for new cpu

Looking to get a new CPU that can go with my motherboard and GPU, as my current CPU is bottlenecking me. My specs are Intel Core i5-9400F for CPU, GPU is AMD Radeon 6600XT, motherboard is Prime B360M-A. Any help is appreciated

gamdias atlas 27" 300hz

Thoughts about this monitor? Planning to buy. Is it ok for gaming and rendering

Is a single 16gb stick okay enough?

I have been recently building a pc.


I have just bought the final parts (CPU and Motherboard, off ebay).


My build is an AMD Radeon 9070XT 16GB, and my CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d. My RAM kit is a single 16GB CL30 6000MT/s stick (Patriot Viper something), will this significantly hold me back in 1440p? I don't have the balance to buy another stick.


Thank you,

Newbie
