Hey everyone! My old PC is beyond repair, and I'm gearing up to build a new one that's going to last me a long time. I'm aiming for an all-white setup, and here are the specs I've chosen so far:
- **Case**: Micro ATX MSI MAG PANO M100R PZ White RGB
- **PSU**: Gigabyte P650SS ICE 80+ Silver
- **Motherboard**: Aorus B650M Elite AX ICE
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
- **RAM**: (still deciding) Patriot Viper Venom RGB, DDR5 2X16 6000MHz CL30
- **SSD**: Kingston NV3 1TB M2 NVMe
- **Cooling**: DeepCool AG400 WH ARGB V2
- **GPU**: Sapphire Nitro+ RX6800XT 16GB (buying used from a trusted friend)
- **Monitor**: 25" MSI MAG 255F E20 Rapid IPS, 200Hz, 0.5ms, FHD
I'm on a budget of €800, most parts are sorted except for the CPU, RAM, GPU, and motherboard. I'd love to hear your thoughts or any advice to improve my build!

I think you're on the right track with this build! Just a heads up, though: if you can find the TeamGroup G70 Pro, it's a great SSD that competes well with top models like the 990PRO. It might be slightly pricier, but totally worth it for the speed. If you're interested in the KC3000, that's another solid choice to consider as it often goes on sale.
To future-proof your setup, I suggest looking into getting an AMD Ryzen 7600 or 7600X instead of the 7500F. The performance boost is significant and will help your build stay relevant longer. Also, I use the Patriot RAM you mentioned with a similar setup, and the price seems pretty reasonable at around €100 in my area.
Nice! I found the RAM on Amazon for $84, which feels like a steal. Also, isn't the Ryzen 5 7600X pretty similar to the 7500F?
Yes, but the 7600X generally offers better performance for slightly more money. Definitely worth considering! Plus, future upgrades will be easier.
Your build looks solid! I'm impressed with the motherboard choice—it'll make future CPU upgrades much easier. Just a thought on your SSD; the Kingston NV3 might not be the best pick since it uses QLC flash. It tends to be less durable and slows down over time. Consider something with TLC flash instead, like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or even the TeamGroup MP44L. It'll definitely enhance your performance in the long run!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm actually thinking about upgrading to the Kingston KC3000 eventually, but I'll check out those other options too!
Good to know! I will definitely keep an eye out for the KC3000 when I get the chance. Unfortunately, the G70 Pro is sold out everywhere right now. How about the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 instead?
