Build Advice I need some advice on my first gaming PC

[zor99]

I've had a few budget pcs in the past, as a kid, and for the past 7ish years I've owned an Hp Omen gaming laptop(with a 1060). Now I've finally gotten some money together and decided to build a gaming pc instead of getting another laptop, as I do like the freedom to upgrade anytime in the future, and it's much easier to repair. Long story short, I've done a lot of research, and this is my current build:

I don't really have a specific case in mind just yet, so I'm open to suggestions, with a focus on airflow and not appearance. Same goes for any other part.

I'm pretty set on getting the AM5 architecture, for a decent upgrade path. In my area, a lot of common parts might not be available, so I've had to make some compromises. I do wonder, is the cooler good enough to keep the cpu temps down? Also, is the two fan design of this particular gpu good enough(its the cheapest 7700xt in my country).

One change I was considering was swapping the CPU for the 7500F. If I'm not mistaking, it's basically the same chip, with no integrated graphics and a slightly lower speed? The reason is, in my area, it's around 50-60€ cheaper. It's also the tray version, I don't know if that actually matters?

I would go for 7800xt, but according to the tomshardware report, it would net me around 10-20 fps, and its around 130€ more expensive, so I don't think it's worth it personally.

The whole build should run me around 1100€ I believe, in my country.

In advance, thank you so much for the help!

No 7500F, 7600x is way better, don't let those SKU numbers fool you, it's one of those "bastard" Ryzen.
Trey version is just without a fancy packaging and no cooler if it applies to particular CPU, they are sold in bulk packages for use of commercial PC builders.

SSD Kingston KC300 is twice as fast and more suitable for OS.

you should definitely get a better power supply :
ideally look for ATX 850w gold 3.0/3.1 certified units with 7 or 10 years of warranty .
examples:
corsair RMx 3.1 , adata core reactor II ,
seasonic focus GX (2024) , seasonic vertex , FSP VITA GM

if you can´t find one of those for a decent price than try
CORE reactor VE , seasonic core gx (2024) , or corsair RMe (2025)
(consider these as a minimum acceptable units)

if possible get a 2tb m.2 drive .

7500f is a great budget gaming cpu , it also has 32mb L3 cache just like 7600/7600x
tray means it doesn´t come with "nice packaging" , just a cpu in a cardboard box .
and F means it doesn´t have integrated graphics
make sure to enable PBO in the bios and you will get a few % extra performance out of it for free .

And what country would that be? The reason I ask is every EU country has its own inventory, VAT, etc ...

Serbia, specifically. I checked all the local prices, so that's about the amount it comes out to.

I'll definitely look into getting the 7600x with the KC300, the price difference would come around to 30e more, which I'm alright with. Thank you for the response.

Sorry about that missing zero, it's KC3000

I'll most likely be getting the 2TB instead. I would like to ask about the power supply, do you recommend upgrading because of low wattage? I'm asking since the ones you mentioned don't seem to be on stock at the moment, and they're more than twice the price. The one I have listed is rated B tier on the PSU tierlist, so I would love to get more information on that if you have the time. Thank you for your help!

I've also managed to find this psu for a decent price:

Is this one good for my system?

Serbia, specifically. I checked all the local prices, so that's about the amount it comes out to.

Here's a few cost cutters.

Thank you a ton for the suggestions, I'll for sure look into the motherboard. I might take the increased price on the processor for the luxury of having a backup integrated gpu, in case I ever need it. What are your thoughts on the power supply discussion above? Would the Be Quiet system power 10, 850w Gold be a better choice? It's only ~40$ more expensive, and it would be better future proofing. Would you recommend it or not?

Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 750 W is listed as tier C (unless i´m missing something) .
regradless it´s not too great of a power supply and i would rate it below average .

BE QUIET System Power 10 850W BN330​

this is a 850w gold unit so yes it is decent (still not the best though and still not atx 3.0/3.1 certified)
bronze units of the same branding are much worse however .

Thank you so much for the help, I'll look around some more and see if I can find a atx3.0/1 psu. If not, I'll likely go for the be quiet one. Again, thank you for taking the time to help!

The 7800xt will hold up longer, as it has more v-ram. Don't think about just today, think about more demanding titles in the future. I don't recommend a 6 core cpu either, as games are getting more core heavy.
