I'm assembling a PC for a friend who wants to keep costs low. Here's what I'm thinking for the build:
* Ryzen 5 9600X
* MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK
* KINGSTON Fury 32GB (DDR5-6000)
* ASUS PRIME RTX 5070 12GB
* Seasonic CORE GX 850W
We're planning to reuse some storage components from his existing setup and will also use the old CPU cooler. I'd love to hear if anyone has suggestions for parts I could swap out or upgrade to enhance performance while sticking to a budget. The total cost for this setup is around 1700 Euros in the EU.

This looks solid! Just curious, what country in the EU are you in? That might help us suggest some local price comparisons to see if there are better deals around.
Definitely check out this build guide I found: https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gpq7YX. It’s super helpful for comparisons and might give you some budget-friendly alternatives that could fit your needs!
Yeah, that site is a lifesaver for budget builds!
Just make sure your CPU cooler is specced right. Also, if you're using old storage, is it an NVMe type? Don't forget thermal paste if you're getting a new CPU cooler!
I'm in Austria, actually!
