I'm new to building PCs and trying to decide on a CPU and GPU combo. My gaming is pretty casual, but I'd like to play some newer titles like Elden Ring and the upcoming Little Nightmares. I want to keep the total cost under 1000 euros. I was considering the Ryzen 7 5800X paired with an RX 7800XT, which I could get for around 500-600 euros. However, I've also heard that the Ryzen 5 7600 is a great option, but I'm unsure what GPU to pair with it. Any recommendations?

If you’re buying new, I'd definitely recommend going with the Ryzen 5 7600. It tends to perform better than the 5800X in most games and also gives you more room for future upgrades. The RX 7800XT is a strong graphics card too. Just a heads up, be mindful of whether you're looking at used or new components, since GPU prices can be pretty wild right now.
Yeah, some of the prices really caught me off guard lmao. Thanks for the help!
