Wouldn't recommend the SATA based WD Blue SSD you linked.

Also not a fan of the PSU choice

Well this way I will have one M2 slot free for a future PCIe 4.0 SSD as soon as i can afford one of these.

Also not a fan of the PSU choice

Elaborate?

I heard good things about the Pure Power 500W and as far as i can see the system won't even create a demand of 300W (right?)

Total = € 1240? Germany?

That is correct... Stuffs expensive here -__-

Thanks a lot for the list!! Super helpful

Could you just go a bit into detail why you swapped some of the parts?
Mainly Motherbord, GPU, Power and SSD

Cheers

Not a problem!

• Mobo - Biggest reason for change is that almost nobody needs all the expansion slots that an ATX board affords. Admittedly, I like mATX boards with an x1 slot above the primary x16, but on the B550M Mortar, you still get 2 expansion cards alongside a dual slot GPU. The most likely expansion card anymore these days is a WiFi card (which you could get integrated in/on the mobo. After that.....? Nothing? Dual GPUs has been dead in most use cases for a few years now. Admittedly this is a bit self-serving, but if consumers don't speak with their wallets, we're just going to have mobos with slots that never get filled for eternity. mATX is a hard sell because of case size. You really only save 6cm on the case height so it sits in an awkward position between ATX and mITX cases. But aside from the artificial limitations/cost-cutting-corners that manufacturers make to segment out mATX, it offers all the same potential as ATX.
• GPU - The EVGA card has a better cooler. Is it worth 12% more than the Palit?....your call
• PSU - just better
• SSD - The SP P34A80 isn't a bad drive. I just think the XPG 8200Pro is worth the extra €9, especially for the better write duration: Here's a Tom's review that includes both drives
