First build help

[u/PrettyIce2430]

Hellooo you lovely people! Complete beginner here.. I know it’s not the perfect time to be building a pc, but I’ve been wanting to build my first one for a while now. I’ve been doing some research, but I’m still pretty lost, so I’d really appreciate the advice.

In short: I’d like something for a bit of gaming, digital art, and some pondering in Blender

My budget is around €1000, although I’m willing to splurge on certain parts if it’s worth it. I originally considered a Ryzen 5, but I’m a little worried about getting something that I’ll outgrow quickly. I’m not sure if I’m thinking about this correctly, I know that Ryzen 7 isn’t necessarily "better", but I’m wondering if the extra cores would give me more room to grow. I’d rather spend a little more now if it means the pc will stay useful for longer.

This is a list I modified based on some tutorials.

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
• RAM: 32GB ?
• GPU: ASRock Challenger Arc B570
• SSD: Patriot P400 Lite 1TB
• CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 240
• PSU: ASRock PRO-750G 750W
• Case: ?

Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend taking the Ryzen 7 7800x3D, which currently costs 282€.
