I really only once built my own pc and that was years ago. Now i finally have a nice job and have around a budget of 2k € to buy a pc. Im from europe, so no american prices for me.

A friend of mine said maybe another CPU would be better? The reason i chose a watercooler was to get it very quiet. Does that achieve that? Do they have other issues i should be aware of?

I only will use this pc for gaming and watching movies. Nothing much more. I dont want a curved screen, but i dont even know if i need 165 Hz. I play shooters but only casually.

Thanks for the input already :)

EDIT:

new list without the much recommended 7800X3D but at least it keeps me under 2k€ and there is an upgrade of the GPU. I also thought about going only 27'' but i really would like one bigger screen to watch movies.

I looked at the benchmark of the 7700 and the 7800x3d from cpumonkey and they seemed very similar with the one being somewhere better than the other and vice versa. So maybe not that much of a difference or wrong?

It is good to use the estimated wattage and increase it by 30%, that is useful to be safe, so 750 should be ok, BUT the thing is, amd official recommendation, says it is better to use 850 watts for that gpu. Here the link

The seasonic PSU that I recommended in one of the builds, I think it would be good for you, as long as you do not mind that it is not modular, if what you want is a modular psu, in one of the builds, I think there is a corsair 850w gold certified.

The case, if you are looking for a white one, as a personal opinion, I think the one I recommended in one of the builds is a good fit (Fractal Design Pop Mini Air MicroATX), it seems to have good airflow, white and the video card should fit with room to spare by 25 mm.

I just read up on what modular PSUs are and I think a semi modular or (if the budget can hold it) a modular would be better.

I dunno, it seems like they are almost always better if you can afford it

Yeah, in my opinion I don't value so much if the psu is modular or not, I'm more of a functionality over look/ease of use kind of guy, but if it's your first build, yes it might be good to go for a fully modular one.

I did a quick search and found 3 that might be useful for you and stay close to budget (850w and gold certified): -SeaSonic FOCUS GX full modular 135 euros. -Corsair RM850e (2023) fully modular 130 euros. -SeaSonic FOCUS semi modular 110 euros

I think that with any of these 3, you would not be making a mistake.

Thanks, I think I'm kinda set on what build I wanna buy. I don't think I will buy it right now because I still need to save up a bit but I will mention you in my post so you can have a look :)

And who knows, maybe the x3d CPU is until then so much cheaper that I can upgrade to that as well :D
