I'm currently saving for my first PC build, which I plan to start in February. To get ahead of potential price hikes on components, I've already purchased my RAM, SSD, and GPU. Since I might not be able to change most of my choices at this point, I'm looking for feedback on my planned build. Here's what I've got so far:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (€129.46)
- CPU cooler: K Cooler Arctic Freezer 36 Black (€34.19)
- Motherboard: MSI PRO A620M-B (€78.42)
- RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 16GB DDR5 (2x8GB) (PURCHASED €120.62)
- Storage: 1TB Patriot Viper P400 Lite (PURCHASED €111.92)
- GPU: Intel Arc B580 (PURCHASED €262.50)
- Case: DeepCool CH370 (€49.69)
- Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 Plus Bronze (€56.63)
- Fans: be quiet! Pure Wings 3 140mm (x2) (€30.32)
Total price comes to €874.35. Am I making any mistakes here?

Honestly, your build looks solid for 1080p gaming at 60 FPS. If you're thinking about upgrading the GPU in the future, it might be worth swapping out your power supply for the MSI Mag 850W instead. Just gives you a bit more headroom!
That's what I was considering! I switched to the 650W because I thought it would support future upgrades better, and my current setup only uses about 380W.
