First PC Build

Hey everyone!

I am about to build a new desktop for 1440p gaming and work stuff. Hopefully it has some good longevity. My current choices would be:

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 GAMING OC - 680 Euros

RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 32GB RAM 2x16GB Modules - 437 euros

SSD: Samsung 9100 Pro SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 5.0 - 343 euros

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2GHz (BOX) - 347 euros

PSU: Corsair RMx Series RM750x ATX12V 3.1 750W -160 euros

Fans: Arctic P12 Pro PST Case Fan 120mm (5 pieces) - 26 euros

MB: Asus TUF GAMING B650E-PLUS WIFI Motherboard ATX AMD AM5 Socket 90MB1M20-M0EAY0 - 190 euros

I'm located in greece so I'm buying form a platform called Skroutz that finds the cheapest prices. I still have to pick a few stuff including the tower. If you have any recommendations or suggestions for my build please be free to comment! I appreaciate your assistance!
 
Other than the absurd price for RAM, I don't see any major problems. I ran this through AI just to make sure I had it right, and it told me that the SSD was known for thermal throttling, so I researched it a little further and as long as you use the heatsink provided it should be fine. It's true that a PCIe 5.0 drive tends to run hot, but with normal precautions that shouldn't be a problem for the Samsung 9100 Pro SSD.

So it looks good to me. Should be future proof for awhile since I don't expect any new GPUs for the next few years while everyone tries to vacuum up all the AI money flying all over the place.
