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?

    Ok I heard from a friend that the x3d CPUs are good for gaming, but I just don’t know much about them and they were more expensive.

    Which GPU would you choose for the budget?

    How many more fans would I need? Any recommendations? I don’t mind paying a tiny bit over 2k if it means getting a really good build.

    Tbh I’m just very overwhelmed with the wide variety of monitors, I don’t know any of the abbreviations and I just wanted the cheapest best monitor if that’s even possible. Is freesync important? I actually haven’t looked at any reviews yet.
