Hey everyone! I'm moving from a laptop to a desktop PC and I'm excited but a bit overwhelmed. I'm based in Slovakia and looking to build my first PC primarily for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and some programming tasks. My budget is around 1600€ and I'm aiming to get the best bang for my buck. Here's what I'm considering for my build:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X - 307.90€
- Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36 - 30.90€
- Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI - 149.90€
- GPU: ASUS DUAL Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB - 399.40€
- RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MHz CL36 (EXPO) - 374.90€
- Storage: 2TB Crucial P310 NVMe SSD - 228.90€
- Case: Montech XR Black - 58.90€
- PSU: GIGABYTE UD750GM PG5 V2 (750W Gold) - 89.90€
I would love any feedback or suggestions on my component choices!

Looks like a solid build! You might want to consider going for a Peerless Assassin cooler or a Phantom Spirit if you can find them. They often perform really well and could help keep your system cool with that Ryzen CPU. Also, check out the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D; it's priced around 455.90€, or the 7800X3D for 374.90€. They offer good performance if you're considering an upgrade later!
Good call on the cooler options! I read that the Peerless Assassin has great performance for the price. Just a heads up, the cheaper X3D options like the Ryzen 5 7500X3D are around 241.90€, so it might be worth waiting to see if the 7700X becomes available, since that's also in the 240-250€ range.
