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?

    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 just chose the case because I like the style. Actually I didn’t find the white case on PCPartPicker so I chose the black one. I probably don’t need 64 gb but I definitely want a build that will last me a while and I won’t need to upgrade. Also big number good, right? ;)

      I just want one big screen for everything. I’m gonna use my old screen as the second one. I don’t think I want 4k but I actually thought about plugging a tv on my PC and streaming movies or playing games, but maybe 4k wouldn’t be bad for that
