Hi!

It's been a long time since i upgraded my pc and i think this black friday is time for an upgrade.
I've been looking on forums and youtube for the best specs for my budget and i narrowed it down to this:

CPU: 7800X3D
MOBO: ASRock B650M PRO RS
GPU: RX 7900 XT (don't know which model to choose)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR-5 32gb ( maybe 6000 or 6200. don't think it will make a difference)
SSD: Samsung 980 PRO 2TB ( Thinking of putting 2 of them) even tho one of my friend told me no need to by name brands because it wont make a lot of difference .
PSU: Corsair RM750e 80+ GOLD (or the 850 model)
CASE: NZXT H7 Flow (or anything else that catches my eye with a good air flow and minimal design .. Don't like a lot of RGB's)
COOLER: NOCTUA NH-D15 (Also i am thinking for the Thermalright Peerlees Assassin 120 SE)

Any suggestions for better components ?

My budget is around 1500 to 2000 euros.
Thanks

The 980 pro is nice, but can be overpriced. I would ignore that friend's advice regarding name brand. Brands do matter in the PC space. Some no name brand will most likely be some dramless junk. Crucial, Samsung, Western Digital, Teamgroup, and SK Hynix are safer bets on getting a good drive. Just read reviews first. Assuming you have access to German stores, it might be easier if you put your proposed build into PCPP and then export the build link, to make suggestions/changes.

Yeah i agree but after what he told me i did some searching and from what i saw is, for gaming is useless to buy a fast reading M2 ssd, I am buying the 980 pro mostly for my OS but is almost 200 euro or 170 euro from Germany. my other options is the Crucial P3 Plus.

Your wish list matches fairly closely to mine,
PSU, I have an 850W semi modular Corsair, no problems
Samsung 980 pro, 2TB SSD, I have one of those, no problems in 18 months.
DDR5 ram, I’m dipping my toes into that well soon, 6000 with good timings is my target. I’m brand agnostic though a good “named” brand is preferred.
GPU, I have a 7900xt hellhound, quick, quiet, easy to get a mild overclock. Almost 12 months, no problems. Others are of course available.
I’m looking at a 7000 series.. discounted or a new 9000 series chip. 7800x3d is an awesome tool.
My choice of motherboard is MSI tomahawk, that’s personal but HUB seemed to like the Asrock part on your list.
Case.. personal taste.
Cooler, both those listed have good reports.

If buying from Germany, you have more options than that. Looking at PCPP for Germany, I would probably choose this one.

Yeah i picked that MOBO because of the money. is cheap and is very good, the only bad thing about it is that is white :), i am trying to go for a all black pc.
The rams my current pc has 16gb of 1600mhz :( but to be honest i build the pc 3 years ago.
The only good part on my pc is my GPU i have a RTX 3070, the GPU so far is really good i have 0 problems playing games but with the new COD coming out soon i don't thing i can run it on high graphics with this build.

Do you have an Air Cooler or AIO, i was thinking changing to an AIO but i don't like them, i prefer an Air Cooler just because you put it there and you forget about it.

Thank you!
Last night a found them 160 euro.
But i had an idea last night, do i really need 4TB of storage ?. At the end of the day i only play games on the PC and ocationaly watching some movies. So i thing it would be better just to put a 1TB M2 SSD for the OS and the Apps i use the most, And another one 2 TB M2 SSD for my games, that would be the better idea, Now i have 2TB of Storage and i use almost 1TB combined (OS,Games,Photos,Apps, and many more). But i have 1 M2 SSD 500Gb , 1 HDD 1TB and 2 SSD 250GB, i bought only the M2 the others i got them from my old PC's.

Yeah i am going with the G Skill Ram you linked me they seem good. They are defenetly better from what i got now i have 16GB 1600mhz DDR4.
For the case i am going with the NZXT H5 Flow or the H7 flow i will see with one will be cheaper at the time of purchase.
For the Air Cooler i am going with the Be Quiet Dark Pro.
With 2 extra Be Quiet 140mm fans.
