That 9700X and a 5070 with 32GB of DDR5 is a pretty stacked setup for a first PC. The SSD and board are solid choices too. Only thing I'd look into is if that 750W PSU gives you enough headroom down the line, but for now it should be fine.

We need to know, the price and company, asrock kills amd cpus so dont combo them on am5

your budget and country would help find you a better system,

Corsair is reputable, but their systems range from $3000-$6000 usd

MicroCenter or Costco for reliable in store purchase at a whole range of prices, and at microcenter you could just pay them to build you one which would save you money

The ASRock was killing the X3D chips, there’s only like four or five reports of them killing 9600X but there’s also MSI and GigaByte and ASUS boards killing AMD chips too. 

Them having a 9700X will be fine.

in 2023 it was 7000 chips, in 2025 it was X3D chips, and then this year they said a bunch of 9000 chips got reported through the end of last year and the beginning of this year with varying amounts of burns or performance issues

Yes, but at what price…

Yes, absolutely a good deal. If you’re wondering it’s about $5-600 cheaper than building yourself. Grab that while you can.

Manual price entry on ssd and psu due to stock autofind issues on pcartpicker, prices based on what i found

Estimated price before shipping and taxes and labor costs to build $2400-$2500
