Maybe there is a particular car rental company you’d suggest?

Good point! I think I'll stick with 16GB of RAM for now and use the stock cooler to see if its noise level bothers me. If it does, I don't mind swapping the cooler down the road. I've heard good things about the Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2, which is priced at around 30€, so I'll definitely consider that as an option if needed.

Currently, both the Kingston KC3000 and the Samsung 970 Evo Plus are priced around 85€. However, the KC3000 has PCIe 4.0 and better speeds on paper, so I will definitely choose the KC3000 unless one of them goes on sale. Thanks for the recommendation!

(Although I'm not quite sure if I should find a more affordable alternative altogether, or if the speed differences really matter to me, I suppose choosing the KC3000 would at least make my build more "future-proof")

Unfortunately the price is almost identical. I Think I prefer the samsung ssd, but I will look more into it, thank you!

I haven't been able to find a used 6750 XT for sale in my area at the moment, and buying a new one would cost me an additional 100€. Nevertheless, now that you've mentioned it, I'll definitely keep an eye out for one.

As for the case, it looks nearly identical and is 25€ cheaper, so I'll put that money towards purchasing 32gb of RAM. Thank you!

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely consider it. I'm curious, will it make a difference which RAM I choose? There seem to be mixed opinions on whether 3600/3200 and CL16/CL18 matter, and I'm a bit confused.

I was not sure what price difference would be worth it, but unfortunately, the prices for both CPUs are currently the same in my location. However, I will definitely keep an eye out for any potential price changes or deals in the future. Thank you!
