I'm about to buy my first gaming PC and wanted to get some feedback on my build. I'm planning to use it mainly for FPS games like Valorant, CS:GO, and Apex, as well as Rocket League and League of Legends. My total budget is around €2500, and I already have a monitor (ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMG) that I'll be using. You can check out my build here: [PCPartPicker Build Link]. Are there any major flaws or upgrades I should consider before I finalize my order? Thanks!

Consider spending a bit more on the Aorus Elite Ice motherboard; it's well worth the small cost increase. Also, you might want to check out the Corsair RMx or Lian Li RS power supplies for better reliability. For the GPU, the Asrock Steel Legend 9070XT is another excellent option. Overall, your build looks amazing!
Just a heads up, make sure to grab an 80+ Gold rated power supply. With a build this powerful, it’s important to have efficient components to avoid running into issues down the road.
Good tip! The one I picked is already rated 80+ Gold.
Looks solid to me! The T-CREATE RAM you chose is a great option, especially for a white theme build. Good choice!
You’re right! Changed it to that RAM, thanks!
I actually think your power supply choice might be overkill. A 750W unit would probably handle your setup just fine. Plus, Corsair PSUs can be a bit limited in power ports, which is another thing to consider. If it were me, I’d go for something like the Enermax Revolution DF 850W—it’s a great option!
Thanks for the suggestion! I figured having extra wattage might help with future upgrades, like a potential 5080 GPU, but maybe I should scale back a bit since I’m still under budget?
Thanks! I switched to the Elite Ice motherboard, but kept the other components for now. I couldn’t find the specific PSU models you recommended, could you clarify?
