Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade from my old setup (i5 4460, GTX 970, 8 GB RAM) to something new and I've got a budget of €1200. I won't be looking to upgrade this PC for the next 5-7 years, so I want to make sure I make the right choices. I also prefer a small case and a motherboard with built-in WiFi. I gathered some parts using the PC Part Picker, although I'm not located in Germany. Here's the [link to my build](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/jjN4h7) (I've adjusted the prices to fit my country). Any thoughts on this setup?

Your build looks solid! Honestly, with that budget, I don't think you’ll get much better results by spending more. Just stick with what you have. That being said, keep an eye on the price-to-performance ratio as new components come out.
You might want to consider a different motherboard. A model with the GPU PCIe slot in the first position could help with airflow for the GPU. Something like the ASROCK B650M-HDV/M.2 or ASRock B650M PG Riptide could be better options.
That's good to know! I did consider getting the 7700 from Ali for about €170, but I’m hesitant about buying from there.
