Hey everyone, I'm really struggling here. I've got a budget of around €5,500 (give or take) and I'm determined to build a PC that can smash 4K gaming and VR, especially for games like Microsoft Flight Simulator and Assetto Corsa with all the mods. I've checked out a bunch of sites like Mifcom, Dubaro, and even Notebooksbilliger, but I'm hitting dead ends. They either don't carry top-tier parts like the RTX 5090 Astral LC or RAM that goes over 6000 MHz, or they're still offering outdated DDR4 components in 2025 for a hefty price. I'm looking for a full setup including a Ryzen 9 9950X (or 9950X3D if it drops soon), an appropriate cooling system, high-end RAM, and a strong motherboard. Can anyone point me to a reliable prebuilt site with high-end part options or a good vendor in the EU for DIY, plus maybe a proven part list that fits my gaming needs? I'm really tired of flashy ads pushing outdated tech. Appreciate your help, and I'll definitely share my final build once it's ready!

Creating a part list on PCPartPicker is super helpful! There might be a localized version you can use to check prices from vendors in your area. Definitely a great start if you're going the DIY route.
Honestly, have you thought about just building it yourself? If you use PCPartPicker, it'll help you find the best prices from local stores. You'll get exactly what you're looking for without the hassle.
If you've got your spec in mind, why not go the DIY route? Just avoid spending too much on RAM over 6000MHz because it usually doesn't give you a substantial performance boost for the price. Checking local pricing through PCPartPicker can really simplify the process too!
Everyone seems to suggest it, but building it yourself is the way to go. You'll find what you want and save some cash in the process. Just make sure you double-check everything before ordering!
Absolutely! Building it myself is the plan now. Just wanted to be sure I'm not missing any hidden gems in vendors or setups. Community has been a huge help – giving me that final nudge to do it right, thanks!
