PC Master Race

If you are second-guessing about the CPU, you can't go wrong with the 7800X3D. It is more expensive yes, but also a beast. With that you don't have to upgrade for many years.

You have 64 GBs of RAM. 32GBs i more than enough, unless you do heavy video editing or other reaaally professional stuff. You should take 32GBs and use that money for better CPU or GPU.

I have been using Nvidia for a long time and haven't had time to get into AMD scene, so I really can't give any input on your choice of GPU.

Water cooling is not necessarily better than air cooling. Check out this video by JayzTwoCents for input: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ3c0kspOb8

Be sure to buy a fan for rear exhaust! I didn't see one preinstalled in the case.

And lastly about the monitor. You probably could get a cheaper FreeSync monitor. Be sure to check extensive reviews that test all aspects of the monitor. That means no reviews from PC Gamer etc.

32GB is more than enough memory for now and some years, better to go with faster than more i would say. You could always put in more sticks later.

There are a lot of good inputs in this threads, I agree with them: going for the 7800X3D will be a good investment and it will last you longer.

I would look into maybe saving money on the case, I think Corsair may have cheaper ones (and actually easier to access).

For memory, 64GB is hardly required unless you know you need it (heck, I have 196gb).

This current version of Ryzen is also hard to get with faster memory if you do more than 2 sticks, I know someone mentioned adding more memory later, but it may not be possible if you would like to keep the speed.

Monitor wise, 144, 165hz won't really make a difference. You must decide on the resolution, capabilities (HDR) and etc. I went with 3x Innocn 32M2V, they have some issues but are perfect for what I need. Unfortunately, to drive the monitors, you need a fairly good graphics card to play at 4k with everything turned up. At 2560x1440 I think your graphics card is the right one (I just think 32" 1440p is too much, but that's my personal opinion).

Good luck!

I wouldn't go with watercooling as the pump can be even more noisy (had 2 AIOs, both pumps were louder than any fans) so I would go with a good heatsink, like Noctua NH-D15 or be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. 64GB ram is a lot, unless you need it specifically for something I would go with 32GB and also for 2k€ PC I would downgrade CPU to R5 7600X and put the saved money to better GPU. (Slightly better GPU with slightly worse CPU = better fps on most titles than vice versa)

And what comes to monitors it's just preference on what quality and features you want. If you play a lot of "cinematic" titles I would go for better image quality over refresh rate, and have some form of variable refresh rate so you don't need to sacrfice too much game graphical quality for smooth fps. And if you have never had monitor with high refresh rate don't go too high at first because there is no coming back.

Otherwise seems like a decent build

I'd go with 32GB CL30 6000MT instead. Also with that budget you should consider 7800X3D.

I’m starting to learn about PC building so tagging along here as well (from the UK). Is there a reason why you took a micro atx motherboard with a mid ATX case?

Nice list. Water cooling is overall quieter and more efficient than just air cooling. The caveat is that AIO coolers are less efficient than their custom built counterparts. The problem with the AIO coolers mainly stem from how they transfer heat from the CPU, they are built to cover a wide range of different sockets and do not normally have a pump or reservoir and suffer because of it. A custom built loop, while expensive, is the only way around this. The AIO performance will be marginally better than air cooling while trying to keep noise levels low, best not to attempt much Nice list.

It is a good build with a lot of RAM, more than most people really need 32GB should do the trick unless you do a lot of Photo or Video editing or CAD even. The 6700XT is technically a “budget” GPU but performance can be considered lacking for the price point as its 4K can be a bit under powered. The power supply should be enough, always recommend the most efficient power supply you can afford as they have a tendency to last longer Gold rated being a minimum. You may want a little more storage besides the 2tb ssd cause it runs out quick but you can always add it later.

I would go 32gb ram, and put the saved money into a better cooler. I have exact same and keeps my 5600x under wraps pretty well but don't know how well it would fare with much more powerful CPUs, haven't looked into any further benches since I bought it. For the case, I wouldn't cheapen out too much. Case thermal performance is important too. Otherwise good build. Any reason why choosing Win10 over Win11?

Everything looks good. It's a little too cookie cutter but then again its cookie cutter because it works so well.

Awesome choice on the video card. Anything they isn't Nvidia is awesome right now! They need to know they can't just charge whatever the hell want and have it paid.

Why are you buying a new 6700xt? You can either wait for the 7700xt, which is launching soon, or get one 2nd hand for half the price ..

You actually have a very solid pc picked out. I’d say the other details needed would be what quality you want to play the games at. You’re likely good with the 6700 xt if you don’t want to max every game and get the 165hz to match the monitor. If you’re not trying to push the envelope while on a budget, I’d feel very good with that part list.

As you are from germany, you could use geizhals.at for the cheapest prices. If you are not in abruah to buy it, you should use the price notification aswell.

Many have mentioned the 7800x3d. The 5800x3d is more like your budget and perfect for gaming. Currently almost the same performance.

If your main goal is to play games and watch movies I would make some changes, mainly in order to be able to use your budget and focus it on your video card, of course, I would like the opinion of others, as everyone prioritizes different things.

The important thing is that I am not from Europe, so I do not know what are the exact prices.

With the CPU I would change it for the ryzen 5 7600, ryzen 7 is just overkill and expensive for games, I would prefer to use the extra 100 euros in the GPU, for the X and non X version depends on the price difference

If what you want is silence, I would go for an air cooler, be quiet, noctua or deeplcool are good options (dark pro 4, nh-u2 and ak620 are popular), water-coolers have pumping noises

Ram memory, I would go for 32gb, in this case 2x16gb, this is a good amount for the moment.

I think you can save a little bit on the motherboard, but it's a matter of taste and I think your choice is fine.

The case is a matter of functionality and aesthetics, but I think you can also save a little here, I personally would go for the Corsair 4000D Airflow.

And the rest of the budget, I would put it in the best video card you can afford according to your budget.

The truth is that I think this would be the best option, since having a budget of 2k € with the 6700xt is just a bad build, for example a few weeks ago I made a build for a friend with a budget of 1k that used that video card and his only focus was to play games.
