Hey everyone! I'm finally getting a new PC after about 9 years, and I've placed my order for most of the parts. I'd really appreciate your feedback on whether I made any major mistakes with my build. You can check it out here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zh89pK. Just so you know, the final price isn't what it shows on that site. I found some better deals and will end up spending around €900 in total. I'm mainly wondering if this build is good from a technical and long-term perspective. Thanks for any tips!

You might want to save some cash by getting a Windows key from another source—could save you about €100!
It looks like you're overpaying for the AM4 setup and that GPU. Consider switching to a 7500F and B850 motherboard. You'll get similar pricing but more room to upgrade later. Plus, if you wait a bit, you could snag a 9070XT or 9070 within your budget!
Thanks for the feedback! Just to clarify, I'm set to pay around €900 total with discounts—like just €350 for the GPU. Putting price aside, do you see any technical issues or long-term concerns with my build?
You should definitely think about going for AM5 instead. I even modified your build for you: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FxKXNz](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FxKXNz). The parts I suggest, like the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, will keep you future-proofed!
I probably should've done more research into AM4 and AM5, haha. Unfortunately, I can't swap the AM4 motherboard I've already bought. Thanks for taking the time to suggest those changes!
Yeah, I know, I just added that for reference. I found deals that'll keep everything under €900.
