My current build is nearly ten years old at this point and it really shows. Time to pull the switch. I got the GPU already last year but only now got around picking the remaining parts. Looking forward to feedback on my chosen parts:

You reminded me of the fact that I already undervolted my GPU so it’s probably a good call to nudge the PSU up a little… 750W it is.
I probably don’t specifically need a 12 core CPU but comparing the prices of the 7900 non-X, 7900X, 7800X3D and the 7950X3D in Germany and considering the fact that for me gaming vs productive work balances at ~10% to 90% it really makes not much sense to consider anything but the 7900 non-X I think. The 7800X3D is well above 500€ again unfortunately and the 7950X3D even above 600…
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!
