I'm putting together a gaming PC in Germany with a budget of roughly €2,700. I'm considering a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360, ASRock B850M Pro-A WiFi motherboard, 32GB of DDR5-6000 CL30 memory, a 2TB Lexar NM790 NVMe SSD, a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC, a Montech XR case, an 850W be quiet! Pure Power 13 M power supply, and Windows 11 Home. I'd appreciate feedback on whether these parts are well balanced, whether there are any compatibility or reliability concerns, and whether the total price is reasonable for Germany.

The performance target makes sense, but I’d compare prices carefully before spending the full €2,700. The 9800X3D and RX 9070 XT are strong gaming parts, while 32GB of DDR5-6000 CL30 and a quality 850W supply are appropriate. I would investigate the exact motherboard and power-supply models and check current reviews before buying rather than choosing them blindly. The 360mm cooler is more than enough for an eight-core gaming CPU, so a good air cooler or smaller liquid cooler could also save money. Make sure the case supports the radiator and graphics card dimensions.
€2,700 sounds high for these specifications unless the price includes an unusually expensive Windows license or inflated local component prices. Check each part separately across several German retailers and compare the total with complete prebuilt systems. Prices can change significantly from one day to the next, especially for graphics cards, so waiting for discounts may bring the build down substantially. A similarly priced system with a comparable graphics card could be worth considering if it includes assembly and a warranty.
I’ll list the individual prices and compare them with prebuilt options before deciding whether the build is actually worth €2,700.
I’m still learning which parts are considered reliable, so I’ll compare alternatives and check German pricing more carefully.
