I'm working on my first PC build and I've already purchased some components because I was worried about potential price hikes, especially for GPUs. I'm planning to complete the build in February, and I'm curious if I made any mistakes with my budget so far. Here's what I've got:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F for 129.46€
- CPU cooler: K Cooler Arctic Freezer 36 Black for 34.19€
- Motherboard: MSI PRO A620M-B for 78.42€
- RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 16GB DDR5 (2x8GB), which I bought for 120.62€
- Storage: 1TB Patriot Viper P400 Lite, bought for 111.92€
- GPU: Intel Arc B580, purchased for 262.50€
- Case: DeepCool CH370 for 49.69€
- Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 plus bronze for 56.63€
- Fans: be quiet! Pure Wings 3 140mm (x2) for 30.32€
The total so far is 874.35€. I want to know if there are any clear mistakes I've made or if everything looks good for a solid build.

Your build seems pretty solid for 1080p gaming, especially at 60FPS. If you think you might upgrade the GPU in the future, consider switching to an 850W power supply; it gives you more headroom for upgrades. But honestly, I think you're on the right track!
I was actually eyeing the 550W version of that PSU but opted for the 650W just for the upgrade possibility. My total wattage is around 380, haha!
