Mostly gaming 1440p and (home)office work with MS documents. I am building for many years (7/8+) and don't care about possible upgrades. Country is Slovakia.


Is there anything standing out as straight out wrong (cooler is decent brand from this region) or incompatible? That mobo has everything I have needed over past 10 years so I see no benefit in more expensive mobo, or am I missing something? Maybe some minor upgrades for few euros? Any insight is welcome.

the KC3000 is good. Review here: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/kingston-kc3000-m2-ssd-review

I would suggest a 1000W PSU for the 7900XTX.

A CL30 ram stick is not strictly required. As long as you are not paying too much over a CL 36/34 ram kit.

I picked KC3000 because of that review.

I was checking GPU requirements and only 850w is listed (https://www.xfxforce.com/shop/xfx-speedster-merc-310-7900xtx-black-edition#2). I have some trouble finding solid 1000w tbh, I know almost nothing about them so I am checking cultist network PSU tier list but there are not always exact models listed as I see them on pcpartpicker or local eshop (for example I have 9 year old Zalman PSU and never had any issues but based on PSU tier lists its garbage). Max length of PSU in my case can be 175mm or probably 275mm (but that might interfere with HDD placement). I would like to keep budget around/below 2100€, there was a price cut on 7800x3d by 50€ (not updated on pcpartpicker) so its at 2060,30 €. Within some 160€ price range I dont see many that can be found on PSU tier list, maybe you can spot something good immediately?

cheapest CL36/5200 = 192 €,
CL36/5600 = 198 €,
CL36/6000 = 207 €,
there is one CL32/6400 = 219 € and everything else is more expensive than what I picked. I dont know what is worth picking and saving few € to move into PSU tbh, within some 180€ tops there is maybe Corsair RM1000x (2021) which is A tier (if "RMx 2021" is actually the model I listed. But again what do I get from more expensive PSU?
 
You have the RMe1000 at 149 euro, FSP Hydro G Pro 1000 at 167 euro and G6 1000 at 181 euro.

I would not go for the 2021 version. PSU or capacitors age/degrade fast if not used.

You can also downgrade to 7900XT for 1440p 144hz gaming. but then its a 100 euro saving. so might as well stick with the 7900 XTX.

RMe 1000 and FSP Hydro G Pro 1000 are within the budget, thanks! I am going to read some reviews about these 2 models.
