I'm trying to put together a build that can comfortably handle 1080p gaming and perhaps tackle some 1440p games down the line. My goal is to make it somewhat future-proof without going overboard on the budget. Here's what I'm looking at so far:
- I already have the MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard.
- I'm considering the Ryzen 7500F CPU.
- For RAM, I'm thinking of getting 32GB of DDR5 from Patriot Viper Elite 5.
- I want a 1TB NVME drive, specifically the Crucial P3.
- For the cooler, I'm looking at either a used AMD Wraith Prism or Wraith Stealth.
- I'll use an MSI MAG A750BN Bronze PSU.
- I'm aiming for a used RX 6700 XT GPU.
- And finally, I want a case that looks cool, possibly something like a fishtank design.
I'm also weighing my options on a few components to save some cash, like opting for a C-tier RAM and PSU, and potentially a Gen 3 NVME. Aesthetics are important too, as I plan to paint the cooler. I'd love to hear if you think this build is solid or if I've prioritized looks and budget too much. I'm not after perfect performance; a balanced setup would be ideal!

What’s your budget for the case and the used 6700 XT? Also, the Ryzen 7500F usually comes with a cooler, but it’s best to double-check!
I've seen the Ryzen 7500F from AliExpress is often sold without a cooler. I need to look into it more. I have a budget of around 100 euros for the case, but I’ll likely spend closer to 80, and for the GPU, I'm aiming for about 250 euros.
Yeah, the 7500F is typically OEM, so it doesn’t come with a cooler. It might be better to grab the 7600 instead if the price difference is reasonable.
