I'm wondering if my current PC build is good enough for my 3440x1440p 165Hz monitor. Right now, I have a RX 580, R5 2600, 1x16 3200MHz CL16 RAM, a Kingston A2000 SSD, an NTECH ICE 410 cooler, an MSI PRO SERIES B450M PRO M2 MAX motherboard, and an NTECH SLAYER II RX 34 Crystal mATX case. Here's the new list of parts I'm considering:
- CPU: R7 5800X
- GPU: RX 6900 XT
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS
- Storage: WD BLACK SN7100 1TB NVMe
- Cooler: Arctic Freezer 36
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x16 32Gb 3200MHz CL16
- PSU: MSI MPG A850G
- Case: Already purchased and mentioned
I opted for AM4 since AM5 is too pricey, and the GPU is refurbished. I'm not looking for a valuation, just want to know if this parts list will perform well together for my monitor setup. Not all parts have been bought yet, as shown in the images (which I couldn't attach).

Your build looks solid overall! I would suggest considering the cheaper R7 5700X instead, but the 5800X is still a great choice, especially if you got it for around €172. Just so you know, I didn't see any images attached to review your current setup, though.
I couldn’t upload any pictures, unfortunately. The deal for the 5800X was pretty sweet!
