Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a new PC and I'd love some input on the parts I've selected. My budget is around 2,500 Euros (or 2,900 USD). Here's the list of components I've picked out, which totals 2,292.17 Euros (about 2,668.29 USD).
Here's what I'm planning to use:
- 32GB Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 RAM
- 16GB Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Nitro+ OC Graphics Card
- 2TB KIOXIA Exceria Plus G4 M.2 SSD
- Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB Cooler
- Silentware Air 2000 A-RGB Midi Tower Case (no PSU)
- 1000 Watt FSP Group VITA GM Modular 80+ Gold PSU
- AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU
- MSI MAG Tomahawk Max WiFi Motherboard
I'm really new to PC building, so any suggestions for better parts or if this setup is good as is would be super helpful!

Everything appears good to go! But it could be worth checking if the CPU cooler you chose matches up with the CPU's TDP for optimal cooling. And if you're into programming and AI, you might want to consider an Nvidia GPU instead for better compatibility.
Looks great! If you're planning to store a ton of games, you might want more than 2TB, especially if you have slow internet like I do. Also, consider a good brand for the PSU; it can make a difference in performance.
Totally! Don’t want to run out of space when those high-res games start taking up more room!
Awesome parts, but you might save money by switching to the Sapphire Pulse version of the GPU—it's cheaper and performs similarly. Also, you could downgrade the motherboard to a non-Max version to save even more while keeping most features.
Your build looks solid overall! You've got some great parts there. Just a heads up, you might not need a 1000W PSU unless you plan on overclocking or adding more components in the future. A 700W would typically suffice and might save you some cash.
Yeah, I agree! Most builds for mid-range setups only require around that much. Plus, you can always check online power calculators to be sure.
Your case choice seems less popular; I'd recommend sticking with well-known brands like Corsair for better compatibility and reviews. Their 4000D model is fantastic if you're looking for airflow and quality.
Thanks for the tip! I’m mostly gaming, but I appreciate the advice!
