Hey everyone! I'm planning to surprise my boyfriend with a gaming PC and he has shared some parts he'd like included. I want to get your take on this setup to see if it's a good choice or if I could do better within a budget of 1500 to 1600 euros. Here's the link to the parts he suggested: [PC Build Link](https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/n2dLkD). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Check this out! I’ve made some changes: [Updated Build Link](https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/rQ7Q7w). I swapped the CPU, GPU, storage, and case for better performance!
What types of games does your boyfriend play? And is he planning to do anything else on the PC, like streaming? The build seems decent, but I want to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck.
He might stream a bit and he plays a lot of shooting games.
You might want to swap the motherboard for a B650 or B850 model. The rest of the build looks solid!
Is that one better?
Definitely consider changing to a B650 or B850 motherboard. For the CPU-GPU pairing, you might want to lower the CPU to a Ryzen 5 9600x or bump up the GPU to at least an RTX 5070. I'd recommend the RX 9070 or something even better if your budget allows!
Got it, thanks for the advice!
Thanks! But isn’t this CPU a downgrade?
