What do you think about my PC build? I don't want it too expensive as the current price (777.49 euros) is well enough for my expectations. Anything I should look out for? Any sort of incompatibility?

The power supply is a little bit overkill but that doesn't really matter.
If you want it to be less expensive I'd reccomend you to not buy a brand new cpu and get a less expensive AM4 motherboard. Also ram is very expensive rn so there isn't much that can be done about that.
 


The case has pretty poor venitlation which will cause overheating so I recommend you swap that.
The masterwatt psu is on the low quality side so I recommend you get a better quality unit.
Any reason you are getting a 2200g instead of a regular ryzen 3 or ryzen 5 chip? You aren't using the integrated gpu anyways.
What speed is the ram?
 
This rig is light years better than what you selected and cost less. You dont need a PSU as big as I selected, but this one was on sale and is one of the best PSUs in the world.

This would be a comparable AMD rig. It will be a little bit more but is still a quality CPU. If you go with AMD you will need to get high speed RAM (3200mhz). I would also go with a x470 motherboard over a b350 as the b350 will need a bios update and you will need a previous gen CPU to update the board. You will have the same issue if you go with a 2200g. AMD has a CPU loaner program, but it would be worth $25 more to me to just get a board with right bios from the start.

No, it doesn't. 707.15 GBP are 802 euros. Altough the price is not bad, but it can't go more than that. I will consider your rig though, thank you.

The power supplier is considered low quality? I've heard and seen positive feedback about them, especially the 750W. (DDR4-3000MHz info on the RAM). The same goes for the Q300P, positive feedback.
 


That psu is low quality. It's not because a brand is generally good that they can't have bad products.
The masterwatt series is basically a just get something else for the money products. You should be able to get a seasonic m12II 520w easily for around the same price and it's modular which will be great since you are going for a full window case.

The q300p should be fine with your system but it does increase temps of higher end systems noticable due to the very limited intake of air on the case. This is why I am warning you about it.

 


That rig is better in every way (except for the lower amount of ram which can be solved if you get a gtx 1050ti if you really need 16gb) for 20 ish € more so I would really just get that.
