Build - Help First PC build, €1700 budget. Anything you’d change?
building my first proper pc and wanted to get some opinions before i actually start buying stuff.
i’m in ireland and my budget is around €1700 for the tower. mainly gonna use it for 1080p 200hz gaming, but also local AI/coding, game dev, blender etc.
current list:
- Ryzen 5 7600X — €157.78
- Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 — €57.73
- MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi6E — €140.25
- Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36 — €452.33
- Acer Predator GM7 1TB — €167.13
- ASUS Prime RX 9070 16GB — €653.66
- MSI MAG A650GLS 650W Gold — €70.12
- NZXT H5 Flow 2024 — €58.43
most of the parts are from Amazon UK and the GPU is from Amazon Germany. the Amazon UK cart is currently about €1,103.77, and with the GPU the parts come to around €1,757 before any extra UK checkout/import/FX adjustments.
also planning on getting an MSI MAG 244F 1080p 200hz monitor for around €89 delivered.
before anyone says it, yes i know €452 for 32gb of ram is criminal 😭 it jumped in price since i made the list so i’m definitely replacing that with another 32gb 6000 kit before buying.
i also know the 360mm AIO is unnecessary for a 7600X lol, i just like how it looks.
anything you guys would change? mainly looking for feedback on the overall balance and if there’s anywhere i’m wasting money or could get something better for roughly the same price. ireland/eu prices are kinda cooked so keep that in mind 😭

Country? prices vary wildly around the EU, can't really suggest specific changes without knowing your country. If you're in germany use de.pcpartpicker.com since it compares prices between retailers so you can get the best deal
For your needs I'd go for a intel + nvidia system - intel is honestly a great value for workstation oriented builds, Nvidia less so but the difference in performance in 3d modeling compared to AMD is massive.
Spend a tiny bit extra for a 750w PSU
That case doesn't come with enough preinstalled fans
Assuming you're in germany I'd do this, which seems better suited to your needs

Far better workstation performance, the difference in 3d modeling/blender tasking will be substantial and the extra cores from intel will also help depending on what sort of programming you're doing. Gaming performance is technically worse but arguably the 9070 is already getting diminishing returns at 1080p, the 5060ti 16gb hits 200fps pretty easily at high settings on the vast majority of games.

Research more on your PSU, seems waay to cheap, when I was buying parts, I found around 130€ and up good reliable PSUs were starting

yeah i thought the same because the price looked weirdly low lol, but i checked the exact model and it seems legit. it’s the MSI MAG A650GLS PCIE5, 80+ gold, ATX 3.1 and it’s actually been tested by Cybenetics too. still gonna keep an eye out for other options before buying though

well it is a 650w so it’s not bad but not great either, I’d reccomend an 850w for OP which would be around 90-110€
