Hi, I’m upgrading from my old rig (Nvidia GTX 970 and i5-6600K) and aiming for a “10-year build”.

Approximate Purchase Date: 03-04/2025.
Budget Range: around 2500€
Location: Slovakia
System Usage: CS2, Marvel Rivals, Pubg and the latest AAA singleplayer/coop games
Additional Comments: Additionally, I’m planning to hook up an HDMI cable from my PC to my TV so I can play some games in a living room setting. I’m eyeing a 65" Samsung QE65QN85D
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: alza.sk

Here are the components I'm planning to purchase:

  1. CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (€384.00)
  2. CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken 240 (€138.00)
  3. Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI ATX (€256.00)
  4. Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 (€133.00)
  5. Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD (€162.00)
  6. Video Card: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB (€800.00)
  7. Case: Fractal Design North (€180.00)
  8. Power Supply: Corsair RM850e (2025) 850 W (€139.00)
  9. Monitor: Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQA1A 27.0" 2560 x 1440 170 Hz (€187.00) x2
  10. Mouse: Logitech PRO X Superlight 2 (€143.00)
  11. Headphones: Logitech PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED (€210.00)

If this is primarily a gaming build, you should look at an X3D processor. 64GB's of ram out of the box, add a secondary SSD that's smaller in capacity for your OS, launchers and apps. The larger capacity SSD would be your game library. I would replace the NZXT cooler for the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280/360 or for about half that price, a beefy air cooler.

Have a look at this;

pretty much most of the things aren't showing up on PCPP. ^ Not set in stone, merely a template of what's possible.

Why does your builds cost not total properly? Some metal math has it at about 3150 Euros.
 
I would swap out to these parts and get one of the following graphics cards for 1000 or less; 9070 XT, 7900XTX, 5070 TI, 5080, 4080, 4080S.

Air coolers last longer than AIO's. CS2 and PUBG scream 1440P. Amazon.de, Computer Universe, etc ... ship to Slovakia.
