I've put together a PC part list for my friend who needs a new gaming rig, and I'm hoping to get some feedback. His budget is between €1000 and €1500, and I'm particularly unsure about the processor choice. I've read that the Ryzen 9 7900X might be overpriced for gaming, so I'm wondering if there's a better option that would still allow for a higher-end graphics card within the budget. Here's the link to the part list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/wgPbfd)

If you want to max out your budget, consider going with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead of the 7900X. Here’s a solid build that fits your budget: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/DCFwXR). Just be aware, the 7800X3D is pricier, but it can really boost performance!
Switching to the Ryzen 5 7600X could save you some cash without sacrificing too much performance if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option. You might even be able to afford a better GPU with the savings!
You can definitely swap in a better GPU without breaking the bank. I recommend checking out this build that comes in under €1450: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/xyqYzP). Just a heads up: if you go with this build, you might have to update the BIOS. If that's too much hassle, stick with a CPU that isn't from the 9000 series.
