Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to buy my first gaming PC and really need some guidance. Here's what I'm thinking for the specs:
- Intel i7 14700F
- RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
- Either 16GB or 32GB RAM
- Water cooling
- 2TB storage
I've got a budget of 2000€ max. I'm hoping to get recommendations on:
- A good website for financing the PC
- Affordable builds that won't break the bank with these specs
- Reliable shops in Germany or the EU
If you have any suggestions or better builds for my budget, I'd love to hear them!

Honestly, buying a gaming PC right now isn’t the best idea with how overpriced memory is at the moment.
Hey! I’d suggest ditching the water cooling since air cooling does a great job too. Also, think about going for AMD instead of Intel — the Ryzen 9000 series might offer better performance for the price. If you pivot to an RTX 9060 XT instead of the 5060 Ti, you'll probably get more bang for your buck.
Here’s a build I put together back in October that should fit your budget:
- GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX
- AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
- Endorfy Fera 5 Dual Fan
- Patriot Viper Venom 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36
- GIGABYTE UD750GM PG5
- SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 16G
- NZXT H5 Flow (2024) All Black
You should be able to get this for under 2k, and it’ll have solid performance for gaming and future upgrades!
Quick question, do you think 16GB RAM is sufficient, or should I really consider going for 32GB?
So you're looking to finance your PC? Do you mean via credit?
Yeah, I need a credit option because I'm a student and I really need the PC for both gaming and work, and I can't wait a few months to save up.
I’ve heard that a lot too, but I’ve been dreaming about this since I was a kid. Now that I’m grown up, I really need it for work as well, so I'm determined to make it happen!
