I'm thinking of upgrading my PC and I'm considering my options. Here's the setup I'm looking at:
- GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X Processor
- RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (2x16GB) 5600MT/s CL36
- MBO: GIGABYTE B850M Gaming
- PSU: 850W, Plus Gold
- Cooler: Liquid cooler Asus ROG
- SSD: Crucial P310 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen4
The total cost for this build is about 2044€ (case included) from Amazon.de. However, there's a prebuilt option available locally for 2250€, which is 200€ more but I would get it the next day without having to assemble anything. Should I wait for Black Friday sales? Do Amazon and similar retailers usually have good discounts on PC parts? This is my first time shopping on Amazon and I could really use some advice!

Have you checked out PCPartPicker? It's a great way to see price comparisons and get the best deals on components. I just saw that the Ryzen 7 9700X is around 293€, which is cheaper than the 9800X3D. Might help you save a bit more!
It sounds like you're kind of overpaying for that prebuilt. The parts you listed are valued around 1750€, so you might want to reconsider that. Building your own PC can save you some money, but I get it that it’s a hassle if you’re not experienced with it.
Yeah, I thought it was a bit on the pricier side too. Might be worth it to try building it if you can.
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check that out; it could make a big difference.
