Hey everyone, I am going be slowly building a new computer. I will do 2K Gaming, I would like to have stable frames around 120-144fps range, higher is always better. I honestly dont know how this build is going to feel like, I am still rocking a build from 2016, I am open for any suggestions. This build is around my budget;

I will have my storage carried over from my previous build. I have samsung evo and corsair mp400. I also have Noctua D14 but honestly I dont know if it outperforms Peerless Assassin.

Looks decent.
Noctua NH-D14 is excellent, no need to change it out.
At least try it first.

I am not so hot on the X3D versions UNLESS you only play games.
Any sort of other work is better done by the base 7800X
 
What games do you play and intend to play at 2K at 120-144 FPS?

System looks good and the Noctua D14 is a good cooler. I'd give it a test with the system for a few days and if your use case requires better cooling I'd change then.
 
Made some changes to get you better ram, more storage, and a better motherboard.

You ideally want DDR5 6000 CL30 for these AM5 builds. Here's a case with better airflow, a full size ATX board, ATX 3.0 psu w/10 year warranty for these RTX 40XX series cards and a larger SSD w/five year warranty. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of this case for an exhaust fan. For $10 more you can get the windowed version of this case.

Yea I would probably choose a different case also. For the cost it's hard to say no to the Fractal Pop Air.

Thanks everyone! I have made some changes based on the feedback I had received. Also, the availability of certain parts are an issue, for example be quite! is not available where I am from which is Turkey. I will be mainly gaming on this rig but also will do some lightweight audio production as well.

Here is the latest build;

Strangely, this build is more affordable than the previous one! Also I have oppurtunity to set up a nice payment plan.

*These units are part of my previous build, I am very happy with them and not thinking about upgrading them soon
