Build Advice Help me put together a new 10 year build ?

[Erki11]

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

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)

Okay, after a long decision-making process and while waiting for the GPU to be restocked, I went through the entire list again, and I think this is the final version. It’s not much different from the last one I sent.

If you have time, could you take a look and share your opinion? I ended up going with liquid cooling.

I plan to mount the radiator at the top, keep the two original case fans in the front, and add a 120mm fan at the back.

From what I’ve seen, the radiator will be a tight fit at the top, but I hope it will fit.

I went with the cheaper EVO version of the SSD instead of the PRO since, based on what I’ve researched, the difference is minimal.

I left out the monitors for now because their prices fluctuate too much. The AOC monitors I wanted were €187, and now they cost €260...

So, the final list looks like this: https://sk.pcpartpicker.com/user/ersii/saved/tn6YHx

I would get a different OS drive. You really want a drive with a DRAM cache for your OS drive. Other than that the build looks great.
