I'm putting together a new gaming PC in the EU with a budget of roughly €1,600–€1,800. I'm not very experienced with PC building, so I'd appreciate feedback on whether these parts are compatible and well balanced, or whether I should consider alternatives:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F with an Arctic Freezer 36 cooler bundle
- Motherboard: ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2
- GPU: ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Challenger 16GB
- Memory: 32GB (2×16GB) Patriot DDR5-6000 CL30 Viper Venom
- Storage: Kingston NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
- Power supply: Seasonic Core GC-750, 750W, 80+ Gold, ATX 3.1
- Case: DeepCool CC560 Mesh V2 ARGB
Does this make sense for the budget, or are there parts that should be upgraded or replaced?

I’d reconsider the Kingston NV3 as the main operating-system drive. It uses QLC flash, which generally has lower endurance and can slow down more noticeably during sustained writes. A 1TB TLC-based PCIe 4.0 SSD would be a better long-term choice if one is affordable in your country.
The overall parts list looks solid, and the DDR5-6000 CL30 memory is a particularly good choice for an AM5 system. However, the Ryzen 5 7500F may be the weak point compared with the rest of the build. If the price difference is reasonable, a Ryzen 7 7800X3D—or another X3D chip available in your market—could make the system more balanced for gaming.
