Right now, I’m stuck on a decision about the motherboard—specifically, whether it’s worth splurging on the ASUS B850M TUF WIFI. From what I’ve seen, it only seems to be around 100 units more expensive than the B650.

On top of that, I’m torn between three graphics card options: the 5070, 5070ti, and 9070xt. A lot of people online claim that the A-series cards tend to lose drivers easily, but others argue that this isn’t as big of an issue as it seems. It’s all very confusing!

For reference, my monitor is a 2K 165Hz display, and from what I understand, the 5070 should be able to handle it at maximum performance without breaking a sweat.

Moving on to aesthetics, I need a sleek black PC case, and after some research, the Chengfeng Mini seems like a solid choice—it looks clean and functional.

One last thing: do I really need to add extra fans to the build? I want to make sure everything stays cool, but I don’t want to overcomplicate things either.

Is there anyone out there who can help clear up these doubts for me? [Crying Face]
