I'm looking to build a gaming PC that I can upgrade in about two years. I'll be using it heavily for around five months, and then it will just sit idle until I need it again in about a year and a half. I'm planning to invest in a solid permanent case, a good DDR5 motherboard, and a top-tier 650W PSU with 80+ certification. I'm thinking about getting a Ryzen 5 7600 for the CPU, but I'm torn between the RX 7600 GPU and an NVIDIA card. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

For your setup, I'd recommend a solid motherboard that's not from Asrock or Asus, and go for 32GB of DDR5 RAM at around 6000MHz. A good 850W PSU is a wise choice since it gives you better headroom for future upgrades—650W might not cut it for newer GPUs. You could check out some guides that highlight performance ratios for components. Don't skimp on the PSU!
I hear you on the PSU, but I already went with a 650W for €50. Any idea if I should upgrade it later?
