So I'm looking to build my own PC for the first time since my current computer is fairly outdated. I'm looking to build something around the $1700 CAD range.
This is what I've come up with:
CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 2.9 GHz 8-Core Processor ($430)
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake UX100 38.82 CFM CPU Cooler ($23)
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B460M-A Micro ATX LGA 1200 Motherboard ($127)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($105)
Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($140)
Video Card: RTX 3070 Founders Edition ($680)
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case ($110)
Power Supply: EVGA BR 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($85)
I don't know much about computers so I'm just wondering if anyone more knowledgable could tell me if there are any issues with the build or not (maybe if you think I should spend more money in a certain area and less in another or something like that). Something I was concerned about was whether or not the Motherboard and PSU will be reliable. They seem to have pretty good reviews but that doesn't necessarily always mean much. I also am not sure if all the parts are compatible or not (although PC Part Picker indicates that they are). Any help is appreciated.
