First PC, what can/should i change

Ok, so this is essentially your pick using German prices (since you list Euro I assume German prices are ok), I included an 850W PSU and decent case from Fractal Design, I really like how they put together cases but feel free to choose something else:

Type Item Price
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 7600X €199.00
CPU Cooler Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE €40.90
Motherboard Gigabyte B650 EAGLE €138.56
Memory G.Skill Flare X5 2x16 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 €114.89
Storage Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 €174.65
Video Card Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 7800 XT €514.41
Case Fractal Design Focus 2 RGB €80.90
Power Supply Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W 80+ Gold Fully Modular €89.90
Monitor AOC Q27G4X 27.0" 2560 x 1440 180 Hz €203.32
Total €1556.53

So… This is all right but I would do a few things differently. For the CPU, I would go with a higher core count over a higher CPU speed. The 7700 comes with a built in CPU cooler which mitigates the higher cost. It’s not the most special cooler but you can always buy an aftermarket cooler later. If you could stretch to the €325 7900, you will have a capable cooler too, but that is another €55 for a better cooler and adequate support.

Motherboard… Get one that supports wireless / bluetooth. So, so, sooo much more Quality of life.

Storage can be had for like 25%-30% cheaper if you dodge the Samsung branding and find a good deal.

The memory stick is a little pricey but 6000 MT/s@CL30 is a good pick.

Finally, the AOC screens are not really that impressive. I’d up the price a little extra, or at least start saving up for a second screen that is a bit more premium than this. I’ve seen Mini LED screens for ~€400, so save up for that.

Here is a more optimized build given German PCPP prices. Of course, feel free to change around stuff. Also take a look at my recent $1400 build advice thread.

Anyway, here is my pick:

Hope that helps! As always with my adviced builds, take it as is or modify it however you want. :slight_smile:
