Hey everyone, so I'm new to PC building and I've been researching and trying to learn it.
With a budget of 800 to 900/1000 euro I'm trying to build it for some gaming and would like a high-end machine.
Since I'm not that deep in the industry, I'm asking for you help for some suggestions or adverts that you may find in these components that seemed reasonable to me:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor (184.9€) (I've also seen AMD Ryzen 5 7600 but I'm not sure which one would be better)
CPU Cooler - Deepcool AK400 66.47 CFM (32.99€)
Motherboard -
MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 (124.01€)
Memory -
Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 (84.90€)
Storage -
Kingston NV2 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (67.22€)
Video Card -
PNY VERTO GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB (319,90€)
Case -
MSI MAG FORGE 100R ATX Mid Tower Case (59.90€) (I've also seen Deepcool CC560 V2 ATX Mid (52.50€)
Power Supply -
Corsair CX (2023) 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX (76.14€)
Total: 941.96€


I think my biggest concern is the power supply because I think is one of the most important components and I'm not sure which one would be a better option.
As I said before, I'm not that into PC building so any suggestions would be welcomed! I just want to make the best worth spending.

It's ok. Nothing wrong with your picks. If we knew which stores/country you'll be shopping components in, we might be able to find better deals.

The only things i would change are the PSU and the SSD. Not sure why you would want a Bronze model, but warranty length is a much better indicator of quality. Anything 7 years or more is worth consideration. Less than 7 years and you have to start asking yourself why you are doing this? None of the other PC components are limited to 7 years or less before dying.

As for the SSD, i just trust Samsung and Crucial more than Kingston, but it will probably be fine.

Your budget does not allow for a high end machine, but it will be pretty good at 1080p and up to 1440p. That brings up an important question. What resolution and refresh rate will you use for gaming?

Thank you so much for your reply.
I currently live in Portugal.
About the PSU, I was not very confident choosing one since I didnt know much about it, you have any suggestion?
I don't have it yet but i was looking for a 144Hz monitor 1920×1080 and, since you asked, is it bad in any way if I use a lower monitor while not having this one ?

Here is an AM5 build that would give you the option for future CPU upgrades. Had to skimp on the storage but I figured that is something that can be rectified easily in the future.

Using a lower monitor is not bad in any way.

you can check https://hwbusters.com/psus/ to see if a PSU is a good or bad model.
tl;dr is bad PSUs can damage the motherboard and everything else. Good PSUs offer at least 7 years warranty. And cost money.

SeaSonic G12 GC is the cheapest you should buy: https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/product...80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-g12-gc-650
Better and more expensive is SeaSonic Focus GX 650 https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/product...d-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-focus-gx-650

Hello!

I wouldn't go with an outdated platform.
I'd choose Ryzen 7000 series, or wait a bit for the 9000 series (both of them are on AM5 socket).
Also, regarding memory, I wouldn't buy DDR4.
DDR5 is the new standard.

Just my opinion here...
