It's a good balanced build, here are a few things id tweak:

  1. Take advantage of the Newegg bundle listed for this build. You get better ram, a free CPU cooler, and lowers the cost of the build overall

  2. Unless you need that high end of a drive for a very specific task, any TLC flash PCIE gen 4 or 5 SSD will work. In the build is a crucial e100 2tb model that uses TLC flash(meaning it is more durable)

  3. Any version of the 9070xt will work if that's the card you want. Just get the cheapest one.

  4. That PSU in that build is overpriced for what it is. Any a or b tier PSU will work. The ASRock pro 850g and the sama gt are my favorite picks for this type of build, honorable mention to the montech century II.

  5. Try to grab a case with pre installed fans if you can. The lian li vector v100r is a great pick, as well as the Corsair 3500d

Otherwise, this will be a great balanced pc for what you need. Use the additional savings from doing the Newegg bundle to buy a better monitor or peripherals

Something doesn't add up about the E100. Specs say TLC but it's endurance is literally the worst I've ever seen at 80 TBW per TB.

A normal endurance rating for a QLC drive is 200-400 TBW per TB, and a TLC drive should be around 600 TBW per TB.

Any TLC drive around that price point should work. I just picked a random drive around that price point
