Im putting together a PC that i want to last a good while before needing another upgrade.

Looking for feedback & recommended changes that could improve the build or even save money.

You might want to look into ram kits that have AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on the package. You could do away with the X870E chipset motherboard in favor of a B850 chipset board.

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

Motherboard really doesn't care if you use water cooling or not, unless you use a board that has built in water blocks, which that one doesn't appear to have. This board is still x870e, and far less expensive. I would use some of that savings towards a beefier PSU.
