Hey everyone! I'm about to pull the trigger on a new PC build and would love your final thoughts. My goal is to keep it around 2000 euros, and I've put together a list on PCPartPicker that I think looks solid, but I'd appreciate any extra insights or suggestions.
Just to note, I'm planning to reuse two 120mm fans from my old rig for the new case. Other than what's listed, I won't be using any other components. Here's my build:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core - €489.00
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Phantom Spirit 66.17 CFM - €41.59
- **Motherboard:** MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 - €200.99
- **Memory:** Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 - €129.90
- **Storage:** WD_Black SN850X 2 TB NVME SSD - €152.90
- **Video Card:** Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC SFF GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB - €826.99
- **Case:** Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower - €89.98
- **Power Supply:** Corsair RM850x (2024) 850 W Fully Modular - €139.00
**Total:** €2070.35 (shipping and taxes included)
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help!

I took a look at your build and made some adjustments that could potentially save you some cash. Check out this modified version: [link]. It might help you hit that €2000 mark!
I’ve had the Corsair 4000D Airflow case, and just a heads up: it only comes with one 120mm fan in the front and one in the back. You’ll want to rearrange those or add more for better airflow. You might want to consider the Lian Li Lancool 216 instead; it’s cheaper and includes two 160mm front fans and a 140mm back fan, which is great for airflow. Also, the motherboard will need a BIOS update for the 9800X3D, but there are some alternatives at a similar price that don’t require that. Your PSU choice is solid too; I've got the 1000W version and it’s been great! Check out my link for suggestions too: [link].
This info is super helpful, thanks! I saw your point about the motherboard needing a flash; the Amazon description mentions it supports the 9000 series, but I’ll keep an eye out for alternatives that work out of the box. As for the case, I thought it had two front fans, so good catch there! I’ll look into the one you suggested. And I can probably get the CL36 version of the Corsair Vengeance RAM instead. Appreciate it!
