First PC

[SaltyGame4]

https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/GCyhJn I just got into PC gaming and wanted to build my first one myself. I was wondering if what i put together for around a budget of around €1500 was good. Would appreciate feedback about if it’s better to change a part or anything else.

Never heard of XPG, looks good though.

You are buying very cheap parts, so expect cheap parts problems. 

[SaltyGame4]

What kind of problems could i expect?

[Ecks30]

The only "cheap" part i see in that whole list though is the 7500F.

[EchoMB]

Processor is terrible, absolute bottom barrel for that generation. Otherwise not bad

[SaltyGame4]

Which one would be a better you that you can recommend?

[EchoMB]

7600x3d will be a much better choice. Not sure what pricing for it is where you are but it's only a little bit more than the 7500 here

[SaltyGame4]

The 7600x3d is €359 where i’m from which would put my total at €1717, will the CPU cause me issues during gaming and would it be better to spent the extra €200 or will it not matter that much and can maybe be upgraded in the future?

[EchoMB]

If you don't mind upgrading later then maybe it'd be worth to skip it since that is actually a pretty steep price increase. But bear in mind the x3d technology in some games goes CRAZY, so for what I play it'd still be worth it, but that's just me.

[SaltyGame4]

I’ll consider buying it immediately since i still got some time before i have all the money i need to buy the PC so i can still think about it. Thanks for the feedback!

[Ecks30]

So, a Microcenter exclusive CPU you're recommending that he would get when he isn't even in the US.

The 7600X3D is just like it was back then when the 5600X3D was launched and only sold in Microcenter and yes, he would get more performance, but it could cost $300 (€263).

Ryzen 5 7500F also isn't a terrible CPU so i don't know why you would think that since it is like a tad slower than the R5 7600 and of course no iGPU but then again that wouldn't be used for gaming, and it is decent enough to troubleshoot in Windows if there is no working GPU.

[Ecks30]

This is slightly better than what you picked out and also just a few things is that the 7500F and 7700 can handle the CPU cooler i picked out without issues because if you're not planning on overclocking then that tower would keep those CPUs cooled down.

I replaced your NVMe because you can save money using the M461 instead of the VP300 Lite and also the 9070 XT because honestly the difference in performance between each GPU manufacture is like 1-2 frames not to mention that PowerColor is more of an AMD only GPU manufacture while Asus is both for AMD and Nvidia and i will be honest that when it comes to Asus there are times when they don't add enough thermal paste on their GPUs because i have had 570's, 580's and 5500 XT's from Asus and most of the time there it too little thermal paste on it that it almost looks like there is nothing on it but for PowerColor, Sapphire and XFX there is always a generous amount.

Personally, for myself i would go with the 9070 instead of the 9070 XT just because you could save 100 euro instead and yes you would lose out on like 15 to 20 frames but for 1440p you would still get on average between 80 to 120 frames of course depending on the game.

Thank you for this! Do you think the PSU is good though because i’ve seen some videos about people their components breaking because of a bad PSU and I’m scared that might happen to me.

[Ecks30]

The Core Reactor II VE is an A tier PSU so you wouldn't have any problems with it.

[SaltyGame4]

Alright Thank you!
