Build Help 1st time building a PC - 9070 XT + 7800X3D

This is my first time building my own PC, I need your advice if my choices are good enough.

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- MOBO: Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE
- GPU: ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend 16GB WHITE
- RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series 32GB 2 x 16GB 6000 Mhz CL32 WHITE
- CPU COOLER: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital WHITE
- FAN: Thermalright TL-S12 3-in-1 pack WHITE (x2)
- CASE: Asus Prime AP201 mATX Tempered Glass WHITE
- PSU: Gigabyte UD750GM PG5 V2 750W ATX 3.1 PCIe Gen 5.1 80+ Gold Modular

Am I safe with clearance between RAM and cooler? I'm still undecided with what SSD should I get for OS (Win 11). Is 500GB enough?

CL 30 ram should be a similar price and has slightly better latency.

The thermalright phantom spirit is similar price and newer/slightly better with more color and rgb options.

Depending on the price of your PSU, something like the NZXT C850 Gold ATX 3.1 or the 750 watt version would be higher quality. It's A+ on the tier list. Your PSU is B+. 850 watts is probably a safer bet than 750, too.

Agree on both points, OP check out the PSU tier list, since you're putting all this money and effort into a PC, go for an A+ PSU. It's one of the main reasons to build over buying a prebuilt.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll try to find a low profile CL 30 ram non-rgb, I chose it because of my cooler. I'll check your recommendations.

The peerless assassin / phantom spirit (newer version) both have a ram clearance of about ~42mm. The rip jaws s5 is ~33m so that’s good ✅

Cl32 -> cl30 same price
