Build Advice New build for 1000-1200 Euros ?

[PULPI45]

Hello,

I'm looking for a PC build to play in 2K at 60 FPS for the next few years, do 4K video editing, and most importantly, music production (MAO). I mainly use Cubase and work with large and demanding sound libraries, so my main goal is to have the lowest latency possible.

I have a budget of €1200, excluding SSD and GPU (I'll buy the GPU later. I need my new setup now because my current one is preventing me from working properly: i5-9600K, 16GB RAM, Radeon 580).

I mainly play on my LG C1 TV and sometimes on my AOC 2K monitor. I have no preference between AMD and Intel, I only care about performance.

Here’s a build someone suggested to me—does it hold up?
What could be modified, improved, or what might not be optimal?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (~€450)
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI (~€250)
RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 CL30 (~€180)
Cooling: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.White (~€100)
Case: Fractal Design Define 7 White (~€150)
Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL PCIe5 White 850W 80+ Gold (~€150)

I'm also looking for a 2TB SSD later, so if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I also want a very quiet PC, preferably with a silent case. If possible, I’d like a case and build that can fit any future GPU. If it's full white, that's cool, but I won't spend extra just for aesthetics—silence is the priority.

What do you think of this build?

Have a great day 🙂

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

and the community can chime in with worthwhile suggestions. You've stated your currency and budget but we'll need to know your location as this site and the majority of the user base is located in the USA.

Noise is a subjective topic as is design and aesthetics.

On paper the build you've listed is good. Have you looked into Be Quiet!'s offering on cases? They have white cases.
