I'm a gamer from Germany seeking some guidance on my next gaming rig. Here's my current part list:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - 435.65€
- Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 - 44.90€
- Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B850-E - 167.09€
- RAM: Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 - 172.05€ (found it for half the price of 2x16GB kits)
- Storage: Apacer AS2280P4 512 GB - 81.90€ (this is just for Windows 11; I have other drives for programs)
- GPU: Asus PRIME OC RX 9070 XT 16 GB - 661.90€
- Case: be quiet! Pure Base 501 Airflow ATX Mid - 74.59€
- PSU: be quiet! Power Zone 2 850 W 80+ - 122.89€
Total: 1933.02€
I'm curious if I've overlooked anything, especially with the RAM price being so low. Also, are there any better options for the motherboard, cooler, or case? I'd appreciate any thoughts on cost-effective alternatives with similar performance.

When it comes to the RAM, it's generally a good idea to buy it in kits to avoid potential issues with compatibility. DDR5 is more sophisticated, and you don’t want to risk conflicts. I'd suggest you look for a reputable kit instead of mixing and matching.
Nice find on the RAM! Just a heads up, though, 512 GB might not cut it for storage. Consider bumping that to at least 1 TB if not 2 TB to avoid running out of space quickly. But overall, your build looks solid and well-optimized! Do you have a case and some extra fans lined up yet?
That's true! I'm also curious about case suggestions and what fans would work best for airflow.
