Hey everyone! I'm new here and could really use some advice. I want to build my first gaming PC, primarily for 1080p and 1440p single-player games, and I'm ready to spend around €1200. Here's what I've got in mind for my build:
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650E-E Wifi (€150)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9060XT 16GB
- Case: Silentware Air 100 RGB
- CPU Cooler: Silentware Bora RGB
- RAM: Patriot Viper Venom 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30
- PSU: be quiet! PURE POWER 13M 750W ATX 3.1
- SSD: Samsung 990 EVO PLUS 2TB
I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement. My main worry is the RAM prices, and I'm wondering if it might be better to wait until January or February for purchasing. Thanks a lot!

Your build looks solid overall! Just a heads up, the Samsung 990 EVO isn't usually the best choice for value, and the PSU you selected isn't the cheapest either. It really depends on the prices in your country, though.
As for waiting on RAM prices, insiders suggest they aren't likely to drop much soon. Do you really want to wait four months just to save about €40?
Good point! The 990 EVO is currently around €125 here, with alternatives like Western Digital and Kingston at about €115. I had the impression that 990 EVOs were the best, but I'm seeing things differently now.
And you're right about the PSU; I found the same model for about €110. Even cheaper 750W models with 80+ Gold ratings are just €10 less. Thanks for the insight!
