I love the deal but I don't have the money for it

lol that isnt a deal. last year 4tb ssd were $180-$250 regularly $600 and feeling good about it has you brain washed. if you absolutely have to buy a product during a shortage you want to spend the least amount of money possible https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XX88TW/western-digital-wd-blue-sn5000-

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.

Check your local Staples, SSDs are still in stock.

Just snagged a 1TB WD Blue SN5000 for $66, was their last SSD on the shelves but yeah definitely worth checking

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

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

Productivity first PC build with casual gaming; feedback appreciated (Ryzen 7 9700X build)

For the PSU take a look at something like a Montech Century II or Corsair RMx unit, they're often very close in price to the MSI models but generally better quality (unless you're buying a higher-end MEG variant). You can also get a cheaper motherboard like a Gigabyte B850 Gaming X Wifi6E if wanted,

First Pc and I need some opinions.

Any 6000 RAM with CL less than 40 will work fine. some good SSDs: WD Blue SN5000/SN7100, Kioxia Exceria Plus G3/Plus G4, Samsung 990 EVO Plus; get whichever one is cheapest.

First pc build

The US75 uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years. A better drive with TLC flash would be, e.g., the FanXiang S880, Klevv CRAS C925G, WD Blue SN5000, or Kioxia Exceria Plus G4.
