Hey everyone! My old PC just crashed on me and I need help building a new one. I don't have much experience, so I'm looking for feedback on my proposed parts list. I've consulted with AI for some recommendations but would love to know if there's anything I can improve while keeping a similar budget. Here's what I'm considering:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (Tray)
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Assassin X 120 SE
- **Motherboard:** MSI PRO B650M-P
- **RAM:** ADATA XPG 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30
- **Graphics Card:** Inno3D RTX 4070 TWIN X2 12GB
- **SSD:** Planning to use my old ones
- **Power Supply:** MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5
- **Case:** Antec CX200M RGB ELITE
I'm also wondering if I should salvage my old 32GB of DDR4 RAM due to current prices. Any advice would be appreciated!

Are you sure your PC is really dead? Sometimes giving it a moment or checking with a repair shop can help. Also, I think your parts list could use some improvements. What's your budget looking like?

It probably is dead, maybe the components are just too old. My previous setup was pretty much outdated since 2020, and now it runs slowly. As for my budget, I'm thinking around $1500, but since I live outside the US, let’s say it’s roughly $2000 with my local pricing.
