I'm planning to build a new PC in the next few weeks, and I'd love some input on my current setup. Here's the link to my build: https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/CPqYzP. Specifically, I'm wondering whether I should invest in a platinum PSU or if a gold version would suffice? Plus, are there any components in my build that I should reconsider?

If you're open to suggestions, I’ve worked out an alternative build that could save you around 120 euros by swapping out to a GeForce RTX 5080 instead of the 9070XT and adjusting other components. Here’s the breakdown:

That way, you can get solid performance without breaking the bank.
I think an 850W PSU should work for your build, but if you can swing it, a 1000W might give you some peace of mind for future upgrades. Plus, it’s often better to not worry about replacing the PSU down the line if you upgrade components. Also, if you can afford it, go for 64GB of RAM. 32GB works for many, but once you go up to 64GB, you can be sure you won’t have to upgrade later. Just a thought!
Good point! I could definitely see needing more RAM down the line.
Thanks for sharing! I'll check out that list.
