I'm looking to build a white-themed PC based on the 9700X processor and 5070 GPU. I've created a PC list, which you can check out [here](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WHzvh7), and the total cost comes to around 1700-1800 EUR, which feels a bit high for me. I'm wondering if I can put together a less expensive build that won't compromise too much on performance. Any recommendations for a budget-friendly white build? Just FYI, I will be purchasing from Slovakia, and there's a 200 EUR discount available at [www.focus.sk](http://www.focus.sk).

Is this build mainly for gaming? If so, a six-core CPU might work just as well and could save you some cash. Also, aim for 6000 CL30 RAM—it's a great choice! But I'm curious, how's your power supply pricing over there? $148 for an 850W seems a bit steep.
Check this alternative build: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Pj7GNz). Consider using a 9070 instead of the 5070; it’s slightly slower but offers more VRAM, making it better for future-proofing. Definitely do your research on that!
The original price you mentioned (1700-1800 EUR) seems high. If you check on the German PCPartPicker, the total cost can actually come to about 1600 EUR. You might want to look into the 9070—it's faster and costs about the same as the 5070. Here’s a better build suggestion: [Perfect Build List](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/7ZKKdb). It uses faster RAM and a better GPU while being roughly 120 EUR cheaper. Plus, I've opted for a cheaper motherboard and SSD that shouldn't impact your experience too much.
You could save around 50 EUR by switching to a cheaper SSD like the Teamgroup MP44L. It's a solid option and should help cut down on costs without sacrificing too much speed.
