I know I've talked on and off about a new build for a while, and my plan was to wait until AM5/Arrow Lake before making that move. I'm now expecting to come into some cash soon so decided to bring that forwards with a gaming-centric build. If Zen 5 is great enough I can drop it in later anyway, and takes pressure off waiting for X3D version.
I've already taken some feedback from elsewhere to arrive at the above. Some choices were limited by availability in the UK. In theory if I order now I could get everything above tomorrow, although I'm not in that much of a rush and if I take a little longer I could reduce some costs slightly.
Basically looking for feedback. Would you change some things and why? Note I already have the 4070. I'm not looking for ultimate performance so no need to min/max that hard.
Some comments: I'm told 6000C30 is the sweet spot for AM5. I do want a higher end SSD to start with. If I need more capacity later I'll look to lower tiers. That cooler was recommended as a great performing low cost option, claimed beating the big Noctua's I'm used to buying. Case is more for looks while not being horrible for airflow.
