Newbie PC builder, would appreciate some feedback on my build

Full Build Req

Heya, I've been using a macbook air since I was a kid and it's my first time dabbling in building an actual PC! I've done some research online and would appreciate some advice from you guys.

As it's my very first PC and I've been saving up for the past 8-ish years + am now working, budget isn't really a big concern for me - but I also don't think I'll need over the top stuff like 5090 etc

As for use-case, it's mostly gaming with some content creation, such as video editing w davinci resolve & occasional lightroom work to edit my photos.

Additionally, I'm from Singapore - yes, I've looked at the SLS price lists but I plan on finalizing my build before going down physically

Here's the build I have in mind!

  1. Corsair Air 5400 LX-R iCUE Link (White)
  2. MSI MAG X870E Max Tomahawk WIFI PZ
  3. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  4. Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX (White)
  5. Gigabyte RTX 5070Ti AERO OC
  6. Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL36
  7. Samsung 990 PRO 2TB
  8. Lian Li SX0850P

I do intend on keeping this system for the next decade or so, thus hopefully this is a decently future-proof setup that can get me going for quite some time

Thanks in advance!
