Build Advice Are these parts good for my gaming pc?

Mostly. You don't need Arctic Silver Thermal paste. The heatsink will include some. Also Arctic Silver is a very old compound, it doesn't compare well to many recent products. Look at Arctic MX-4 or MX-6, Noctua NT-H1, and others formulated this century. (Seriously original AS5 is pre 2000, though it was reformulated in the 2000s)

GPU is a bit overpriced. RTX 5070 Ti will be a good replacement and could be as cheap as 750, but more likely around the same 800-900 price that most 4070 Ti Super sell for.

You probably don't need all those RGB fans to start off with. Build as the chassis and CPU cooler come, and see if you need additional cooling then.

You have chosen memory that is certified for Intel systems. Best to pick up a kit with AMD EXPO certification. Better choice:

We need to know the purpose of the build and the titles/app's you'll be taxing the system with. Essentially one of the questions asked of in this thread;

On face value, the build looks good, I'd opt for PWM ARGB fans instead of that bundle that's practically rubbish since you need that proprietary controller/hub and you need software to manage the fans, meaning resources wasted. I would also add a smaller capacity SSD for the OS, app's and launchers if the build is meant for gaming. The larger SSD can serve as your gaming library drive.

What sort of a monitor(resolution and refresh rate) are you going to drive with the system listed above?

^ My revision. Not set in stone, merely a template. Chose Intel compatible Dominators since I helped a friend build with the exact same kit of ram, hasn't reported any hiccups with his B650I Edge WiFi board + 7800X3D but i would err on the side of caution and look at ram kits that have AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on them, like the Neo lineup from G.Skill or this one;

I also agree on not spending on Arctic Silver. The Cooler comes with a thermal paste. If you want aftermarket thermal paste, you can look at KPx or Thermal Grizzly or Noctua or Arctic.
