Question 1440P Gaming pc build €1500

[MousTea]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to build a gaming PC with a budget of €1500,00. (Belgium).
I am looking to play all sorts of games, primarily in 1440P.
So far I have assembled this build (case will be changed due to size limitations of gpu):

I was wondering if everything looks good and if all components I got are best price/performance.
I think I can get some better ram, maybe these (lower latency)?


Another question I have is that what if instead of the Ryzen 5 7600X3D I take a € 255 AMD Ryzen 5 9600X or maybe even an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F?
Slightly less fps, but a better GPU might make up for this (in non-CPU heavy games), or will it not?


Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,

A better GPU won't "make up for this" if you are CPU limited. The 7900xt is a very capable GPU and should be paired with a capable CPU. A better CPU will also give you better 1% low fps, so less stuttering. I would say stick with the 7600X3D. I would personally also go for a better cooler (maybe an AIO if you have the budget).

You should also get another smaller drive, like 500GB for your system drive and use the 2TB for your games. It's more efficient for file management and you only have to backup you small C drive (no need to back up games, if something happens you can just download them again).

For the RAM, 6000MHz CL32 should be good enough but go with CL30 if you can afford it. And make sure the kit is certified expo. If it's not you might have to manually set the voltage to 1.4V to have your CL30 timing working.
