Question Gaming pc, 2000€ budget

[luigi1894]

Hello everyone. I leave below a configuration for a gaming PC to play games in 1080p. I have a budget of about 2000€ (and must include mouse, keyboard and monitor in addition to the case with hardware). I live in Italy so I prefer to buy in a shop like amazon.it. I wanted to know if there was anything to improve or if this configuration is okay. In any case, please leave me your feedback.

That Asus board will struggle with that cpu due to its poor VRM's. Try this. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan.

Okay thx for all details, so you suggest to change the gpu with the 7800XT and the RAM with DDR4 technology?
I understand that ASUS is poor for the VRM, but there is anything with same price but always DDR5 technology?

Your initial list is not unreasonable.
I would take exception to the use of a cheap 240 aio cooler and would use a good twin tower air cooler instead.
The top cooler choice might be a noctua NH-D15S, but less expensive coolers are ok.
A 13600K is not an overly hot processor for gaming:

AIO coolers do not last forever. In time the mechanical pump fails or gets clogged.
Or air enters through the tubes and the unit must be replaced. Plan on 5 years.

And... do not succumb to the suggestion to save a piddling amount and buy a F suffix processor.
If/when you ever have a graphics issue, integrated graphics will keep you going.
