I finally saved enough money for my first PC. Can you please evaluate my choice and tell me if any mistakes were made?
In general, I want good performance from a PC in some specific tasks (mostly fast compilation, because with my current laptop it takes about 15-20 minutes to build a project even in unity-build mode), but I would also like to be able to play modern games at medium-high settings in 2K. So here is what I come up with.
Approximate Purchase Date: This week or next.
Budget Range: About $3000
Hardware:

Approximate Purchase Date: This week or next.
Budget Range: About $3000
Hardware:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900x. As I understand it preforms slightly worse than Ryzen 7 9800X3D in gaming, but wins in tasks, which require multithreading.
- GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070. As I understand without it's AI features it has the same raw performance as the same series from previous generation. So I would probably get RX 9070XT, but in my region it is ridiculously overpriced (like x2 from the cost of 5070), the same situation is with 5070 Ti.
- Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite. My main concern about this motherboard is if I'm not mistaken I can only install 2 M2 NVMe SSDs (one in CPU lane and one in chipset lane) without blocking GPU from using 16 PCI lanes.
- SSD M2 PCI 4.0x4 (2TB): Kingston Fury Renegade or SSD Kingston KC3000. Don't know if it is the right choice. But honestly I would prefer durability than fast speed, maybe Samsung 980 Pro is the way to go.
- RAM DDR5 (2x16GB): G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo CL 30T. Do I understand correctly that 6000MT/s actually means 3000Mhz and it will not be bottle necked by my CPU?
- PSU: Montech Titan Gold 1000W. According to this tier list it is pretty solid PSU. I've alse read that it is better to add additional 15%-20% to watts, that system actually requires, which is, as I understand, is 750W for RTX 5070. Is it correct?
- Cooling: DeepCool LQ360 or Arctic Liquid Freezer III.
- Monitor: LG 27GS85Q

)? Ryzen 7 9700x is only slightly cheaper in my region than 9900x (about 7%), but looses to 9900x in every characteristics
