Greetings,

I'm about to change my PC configuration with a new one, but uh, you know, I might need an opinion or two from you guys;
My old PC parts are:
Processor: R5 5600
RAM:Kingston DDR4 3600 CL 16
Case: ASUS AP201
MOBO: ASUS TUF B550M-PLUS WIFI II
Fans: X7 from Arctic, P12PWM PST
PSU: CoolerMaster V650 SFX Gold
GPU: RTX 4070 Super ASUS EVO OC

Here's the new configuration that I'm going for:

Processor: Ryzen 7800x3D
Ram: Kingston Fury Beast White RGB 32GB, DDR5 6000MT/s, CL 30
Case: PCCoolers C3 500
Mobo: Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE
PSU: Gigabyte UD850GM PG5W
GPU: RTX 4070 Super ASUS EVO OC


Notes: The GPU I already have it and I'll keep it
The case that I'm going to use is PCCoolers C3 500, it does include 6 A-RGB fans, dual chamber, paired with the other 3 fans from Arctic's AIO, I guess it's more than enough

My concerns:
-I've seen that Gigabyte PSU's were a mess, what about this one? I've read lots of reviews and so on, seems fine this one; What other alternative you'd give me? I was watching on MSI MAG 850GL PCIE 5 White
-About the processor, should I go for R7 7800x3D? Or what about the "less cheap" R7 9700X?

Not a fan of aquarium style PC cases. More towards traditional rectangular boxes that have airflow from front to back/top akin to this one;

which also comes in a white variant;

though I noticed you got a matx board, usually an atx case with an matx motherboard leaves the innards looking incomplete.

The rest of your parts seem to check out though just for good measure, flash the BIOS to the latest as soon as you get the system to POST.

That was the GP series of PSU's;

but the MSI unit you're mentioned is also a good unit.

-About the processor, should I go for R7 7800x3D? Or what about the "less cheap" R7 9700X?
What is the purpose of the build/upgrade?

Hey,

Thank you for taking your time to answer me, I'd like to add the fact that the case it was the second option, I forgot to mention that the main case that I wanted to use for the build is "1stPlayer UV6 White" , which is great for me, for the M-ATX mobo, the C3 500 was indeed an option for the same Mobo that's ATX and I'll go for M-ATX; Facts, that montech goes way above my budget tho and I don't really like it. I'll go for the MSI PSU, thank you for that

The purpose is 4K gaming and some blender elements
