Hi! My gaming laptop is starting to fail, so I've spent several hours researching parts and comparing different builds. I put together my own parts list and would love feedback from people with more experience. It should cost around €1,650 as long as prices stay stable. I'll mainly use the PC for gaming and university coursework. I'm also wondering whether choosing DDR5 is worthwhile and if the power supply leaves enough room for future upgrades.

I’d consider an 850W ATX 3.1 power supply if the price difference is manageable. It would give you more headroom for a future graphics card or processor upgrade, though 750W should be sufficient for the current parts if you’re trying to keep the build near budget.
The build should look really nice, especially with the white theme. White memory kits can be surprisingly expensive or hard to find, though, so it may be worth prioritizing reliable specifications and price over matching every component perfectly.
That’s exactly what happened—the lack of reasonably priced white RAM has made the all-white design much harder to finish.
That makes sense, but this is already a fairly budget-focused build. The 850W unit would cost about €40 more, and from what I’ve read, 750W should be enough for the components I’m using now.
