First time building a gaming PC, need some help

Post Body

So, I'm currently building my first gaming PC through PCSpecialist, who I've used before several years ago to build a budget gaming laptop. Right now I'm looking to build something that isn't exactly top of the line but also shouldn't struggle to run the most recent AAA titles and such. I'm not talking ultra graphics settings with no framerate dips, more so just normal graphics settings with smooth framerate. I just want to check whether there are any glaring issues with the parts I've picked and whether I should consider changing some things around before I go ahead and purchase the thing. Below I've listed all the relevant parts of the build and I would really appreciate if you could take a look over what I've selected and tell me what you think! Just a note, parts labelled "PCS" refer PCSpecialist's own brand.

Processor: Intel Core i7 12-core processor i7-12700K (3.6GHz) 25mb cache

RAM: 32GB PCS PRO DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 16GB)

GPU: 8GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070 - HDMI DP LHR

SSD: 1 x 2TB INTEL 670p M.2 PCIe SSD (up to 3500MB/sR)

Cooling: PCS FrostFlow 200 Series High Performance CPU Cooler (250W TDP) & Standard Thermal Paste & 1 x 120mm case fan

Sound card: ASUS Xonar SE 5.1-Channel Gaming Audio Card

Monitor: ASUS TUF Gaming VG247Q1A 24"

Thanks a lot!
