I've been doing some research to put together my first PC build, and I've created a list that I think is decent: [PCPartPicker list](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/VWxcjn). However, since I'm not in Germany, I based some of the prices on deals I found in my country, which might not be perfect. I have a few concerns I'd like feedback on: First, the 7500F CPU seems to be the weakest in its generation; does it pair well with the 7900XT? Second, I'm completely unsure about choosing a motherboard. What makes one better than another? For the power supply, I went with an 850W, which might be overkill, but I'm hoping it leaves room for future upgrades. Lastly, I'm iffy about my case choice; there are just so many, and since I've only used laptops before, I'm not sure what to look for. Any case recommendations around the 100€ range would be super helpful. I'm planning to use a UWQHD monitor with this setup and would appreciate any advice, critiques, or suggestions!

Definitely check out some video reviews on the 7500F; they can give you a clearer view of its performance. It’s always reassuring to see how others have fared with it. As for your PSU, the 850W will give you plenty of headroom for upgrades, so you're in good shape there!
I have the Lian Li Lancool 205 case, and I love it for its design and ease of assembly. For the motherboard, I'd suggest picking the most affordable one that meets your needs, just ensure it has the right CPU and RAM compatibility. Using the PCPartPicker list is a great start to find good options!
You might want to consider using the German PCPartPicker site to help with your build, especially as it often shows local prices and deals. For a case, the Montech XR is solid and usually priced around 60€. Also, I recommend checking out some comparison videos on the 7500F CPU to see how well it works with your GPU choice.
