Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a gaming PC with a budget of around €2,000. My goal is to achieve smooth 1440p gaming now and have the option for easy upgrades in a couple of years. Here's what I've put together so far:
- **CPU**: 9800X3D
- **GPU**: Asus TUF 9070xt
- **Motherboard**: Asus TUF B850-E Wifi
- **RAM**: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 32GB
- **SSD**: Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB
- **Cooler**: be quiet! Silent Loop 3 240mm
- **Case**: be quiet! Silent Base 601
- **Power Supply**: be quiet! Power Zone 2 850 W
I'd love to hear your feedback and any suggestions you might have!

Your build looks solid overall, but I'd recommend steering clear of ASUS products altogether. Consider going for options from Gigabyte, MSI for the motherboard, and GPU from brands like Sapphire, Powercolor, or XFX for better reliability. Also, switching to a 360mm Arctic Freezer cooler could help with heat dissipation and provide quieter operation, plus it might be cheaper!
Check out this alternative build I found: [https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/NBBvPJ](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/NBBvPJ). It comes in around €1,760. I assumed you might be in Germany based on the currency. What do you think?
Germany works! But why did you go with a microATX? I'm aiming for a bigger build for better airflow.
Thanks for the tips! Can you elaborate on why you don't trust ASUS? I always thought they were high quality. Any specific models from Gigabyte or MSI you'd suggest?
