It is good. You are overspending on the cooler, but it's a nice one.


If you can stretch your budget by another 200 euro, you can upgrade to a 7800X3D CPU.

This is one possible build. More expensive but longer lasting. Though you could buy your build and upgrade the CPU later.

Yeah, keep the case you like.

With a 1000w PSU, you will not have to cheange it in the next 4-7 years if you buy a new GPU.
It is better to have more watts and not need them. The PSU that runs closers to it's max is more stressed.

I also think the SeaSonic is more quiet, but you can keep the Corsair pick to save some money.

It is not clear to me what you may or may have not already bought.
The time to ask for advice is BEFORE you buy.

I see no problems with your list.

Just something personal, i would add a smaller drive >256gb for window and it's files. Just for the sake of when having to reinstall that to me is more convenient.

Windows is not the only thing that resides on the C drive.
Many things default to it.
256gb may fill up.

If you have installed apps, they will be recorded in the registry that gets wiped if you do a new clean install.
Steam games have a work around.

I like the simplicity of a single large C drive space .

Many things default to it.

Point is to put some of those things on another drive like games, but also photo's/pictures, video's, documents, easy to get these on another drive if you do it right.

wich one would you recommend

Maybe abit expensive but like this,
