I'm planning to build an all-white gaming PC and I'm keen on using NVIDIA graphics. I want to keep my budget around €2350/$2750. Here's what I have in mind so far:
- **GPU**: NVIDIA 5060 TI - €590/$690
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7900x - €305/$358
- **Case**: Hyte Y70 - Snow White - €205/$240
- **Motherboard**: ASrock B850 - €228/$267
- **CPU Cooler**: Corsair NAUTILUS 360 ARGB White - €122/$145
- **PSU**: ASUS PRIME 850W GOLD - €125/$145
- **RAM**: Kingston Fury BEAST 32GB - €133/$156
- **SSD**: Corsair MP600 LPX Pro White - €202/$238
- **HDD**: Seagate BarraCuda - €98/$115
The total comes to around €2008/$2350. Could you guys recommend any changes to improve my build or suggest if I'm overpaying for something?

You might not need the 7900 CPU since those extra cores don't really help with gaming. Maybe consider the 9600 instead. Also, look at getting a 9060 XT for around €350 instead of that 5060 Ti. And don’t forget, cases shouldn't cost more than €60. You can find decent B650 motherboards for €100-130 too. Just check that your RAM is 6000Mhz with CL 36 max.
Just a heads up, Corsair SSDs can be pricey. Depending on your motherboard, the SSD could be obstructed by the heatsink. You might want to check out alternatives like Kioxia Exceria Pro or WD_Black SN850X that could save you some cash while performing just as well.
Honestly, that price seems a bit high for a 5060 Ti. If you're gaming, you might want to consider upgrading to a 5070 Ti instead. With your budget, you could definitely aim higher. Also, if you can, try using PCPartPicker to finalize your build and get feedback from others.
Thanks for the tip! I've switched to a 5070 TI white edition now.
Actually, my SSD is 1-2TB, but I have a 4TB HDD. I'm from Denmark and in a good job, so it might take me 6 months to save up after changing the GPU to a 5070 TI.
