Hey everyone! I'm planning to buy a new gaming PC and have put together a build that costs around 2,500 euros. I'm hoping you can take a look at my parts list and let me know if there's anything I should change or if it looks good to go! Here's what I've got: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, ENDOFY Fortis 5 CPU cooler, MSI PRO B850-P motherboard, 64 GB Kingston FURY DDR5 RAM, Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB SSD, Asus PRIME OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, Fractal Design Meshify 2 case, and a SeaSonic VERTEX GX-1000 power supply. What do you think?

You definitely don’t need 64GB of RAM just for gaming; that's a bit excessive! I switched to a simpler build for gaming that looks great and saves on costs. Here’s a full white build I made: [link]. Feel free to check it out!
Honestly, 2TB might not cut it for a lot of games and other files. If you want to future-proof your storage, consider a larger SSD, like the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB, especially since the prices have been dropping!
I think 2TB is plenty. I'm using a NAS to store my games and files.
I recommend switching to the 7800X3D CPU instead. It’s a bit cheaper and gives you extra cash to invest in a better AIO cooler for looks and possibly a higher-quality SSD. While 1000w is overkill now, it could make your build more future-proof!
You make a good point! But I'm not a fan of cases with tempered glass.
I suggest considering a different CPU cooler, like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit, which might perform better. Also, you could bump up to a B850 Aorus Elite motherboard if you're looking for a bit more quality. For the power supply, an 850w would suffice for this build, and it's worth looking for one that has PCIe 5 and ATX 3.1 certification!
That’s good to know! My options might be limited based on my country, so I’m only choosing from what's available on my local store.
Thanks! That looks awesome! Could you whip up a version with an Nvidia card instead?
