Someone save me from myself please

That Fifine microphone and interface aren't compatible, it's a USB-only mic with an XLR interface. If you want the interface for easy access to the volume sliders then you need a Fifine AM8 or K688 if you want to stick to the same brand. Otherwise get rid of the interface and just keep the USB mic.

Gutted PC

IMO there's no need for a low-profile cooler like the AXP90-X53. A Thermalright Assassin X 90 SE is cheaper and will fit inside that casing .An AMD Wraith Prism (the one with the heatpipes) is another option, but only if you can get one for cheap. Don't get a WD Green SSD as a boot drive. Those are

First pc build

Zie Amazon voor cpu cooler Zie Amazon voor case fans Zie tweakers.net voor nvme Zie tweakers.net voor gpu Zie tweakers.net voor psu De psu is B+ tier dat is echt meer dan voldoende voor deze build. De wd nvme is tlc inplaats van de p3 qlc. Qlc is minder betrouwbaar en wordt traag bij veel dingen ops

Consigli su una build per giocare a 1080/1440

The EQ790 uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years. Get a better drive with TLC flash like the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 or WD Blue SN5000.

Is this a good pc it’s my first build

I assume you mean a 7800X3D for your CPU? I'd get a cheaper case without those fancy fans and then a cheaper CPU cooler. With the money saved from that you can upgrade your GPU to something like a 9070 XT or maybe even a 5070 Ti. Also I'd grab a 2TB M.2 even if it's a lower-spec model like a WD Blue

Wanted some second opinions

The NV3 often uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years. Get a better drive with TLC flash like the Patriot P400 Lite/VP4300 Lite, Timetec 35TTFP6PCIE, or WD Blue SN5000.

9800X3D + GIGABYTE X870E AORUS X3D PRO = Safe to buy?

Yea that would be perfectly fine, you could even do what I did and go for a cheaper WD SN5000 as the backup drive as it's more than fast enough for stuff like games or other apps. I'm currently running a 2TB Crucial T500 as my primary drive with a 2TB WD Blue SN5000 and 1TB WD Hard Drive as my stora
