Hey everyone! I'm diving into the PC building world, and I could really use some guidance. My budget is pretty tight, around 1500 euros, so I've put together a build that I think is solid, but I'm not entirely confident about it since I'm still learning the ropes. I've used sites like pcpartpicker and pangoly to check compatibility, but I'm unsure how it will actually perform. I don't play a ton of games, just some Minecraft with mods, but I need this PC for multitasking, projects, photo and video editing, and school work. Here's the parts list I came up with:
- Intel Core Ultra 7 265K/Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF
- MSI PRO B860-P
- Kingston FURY Beast 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36
- Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE V3
- ASRock Intel ARC B580 Challenger 12GB
- MSI MAG A650GLS 650W
- Crucial T705 SSD 1TB Gen5
- Phanteks XT Pro mid-tower
- 2x ARCTIC P12 Pro PST
I hope it's not a complete disaster! Looking forward to your thoughts and advice. Thanks in advance!

Nice build! I noticed you're not using an AM5 platform. Consider updating that if you can—more future-proof. Also, switching to a slightly better GPU might help with those graphics-intensive apps. The changes I made in my build allowed for some smooth performance even on high settings for most games!
Hey there! For your budget, I think you’ve done pretty well. Your CPU and RAM are great for multitasking and photo/video editing. Just a heads-up, though, make sure your power supply is sufficient for future upgrades if you ever decide to game more seriously. Also, the cooler you picked is solid, but keep an eye on temps—just in case! Overall, looks promising!
Awesome, thanks for the tips! What do you think about the GPU? Is it decent for some light gaming and editing?
Wow, that sounds great! What changes did you make? Are they more compatible or budget-friendly?
