First timer needs Help Choosing Parts
Hi all,
Aiming for a mid/mid+ tier gaming build, no streaming. I've been chugging away on an old gaming laptop for too long--total newcomer when it comes to PC building. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Overall build looks pretty solid! Great use of the bundle! The only recommendation I would personally have is changing the CPU cooler to a dual fan since you are using the 7800X3D. The Noctua NH-D15 or the DARK ROCK PRO 5 are some pretty good options :)
This is not something you need to rush into but more storage is going to be your friend in the future with a lot of games these days.
