Hey everyone! I've been planning to build a new gaming PC and my budget is around €1500. I'm into games like Rocket League, CS:GO, and Minecraft, and I want to know if there's a big difference between 1080p and 1440p in these games. I have two monitors that run at over 200Hz, so I want to make sure my setup can keep up. I've come up with a draft build and would really appreciate your thoughts on it—do you think I need to upgrade or downgrade any parts? Here's what I'm looking at:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B850 Eagle WiFi6E
- **RAM:** G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB + Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB
- **SSD:** Teamgroup MP44L 2TB
- **GPU:** Gigabyte Aorus Elite RX 9070 XT 16GB
- **Case:** Fractal Design Meshify 3 RGB
- **PSU:** Corsair RM750e
For reference, my old setup had an Intel Core i5-4460 with an AMD Radeon RX 580 and 8GB DDR3 RAM. Just a heads up, I'm located in the Netherlands!

Your build looks solid! For the RAM, just grab whatever’s the cheapest as long as it meets your needs. The RX 9070 XT is a great choice, but if you're into ray tracing, maybe consider the RTX 5070 Ti instead. Also, regarding the PSU, Corsair is a fan-favorite but there are better options for the price you might want to explore.
I think your concept is good overall. If you're in the market for a case, I found the Antec P20C for about €69, which is well built. The Fractal case is nice too, but you could save some cash there. As for the PSU, Seasonic has some great alternatives like the Focus GX-750.
