There are four states with no sales tax: Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and New Hampshire.

Finally placed all orders. Some components are either out of stock or take ridiculously long to restock, so I had to replace and/or purchase from other retailers.

Thank you for all your support! I think I'll go with @lee32uk's configuration. But there is still a tiny problem: I don't really care about RGB lighting, and I was wondering whether it's better to get a non-RGB version of the motherboard (if such version exists).

Not sure if it's a mistake, but my local retailers have Asus ROG STRIX X470-F Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard priced at €218 and Gigabyte - X570 GAMING X ATX AM4 Motherboard at €199. Seems like a no-brainer here.

Thanks. I did the calculation again with prices from local retailers: Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor €349.00 @ Gigantti CPU Cooler be quiet!

If I replace 3700 with 3900, this is the total price without shipping. If I stick with 3700, I'll just remove €150 from CPU.

Hmm I never really considered AMD. But their reviews are quite positive. It looks promising. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a 1440p display. I didn't know about the airflow issue. Thanks for pointing that out!

Glad to hear from a C:S player! Thanks for the suggestion. Currently the RAM capacity is 16GB. IIRC CPU was quite busy during game. Task manager indicated usage close to 100%. What's your population? I thought about going for 2080 super too. Its VRAM capacity is only 8GB. Will it be a problem?

Thanks. Ryzen 3900 was under consideration but the game doesn't seem to be able to utilize all the threads (or so I've heard). My main concern was motherboard & cooler. I don't know if they work well with other components, or if I can get better deal by choosing cheaper alternatives.

Yes just gaming.

Hi everyone. I'm planning my first build. My current PC (Core i7-4790K + GeForce GTX 970) is 4 years old and it struggles a little bit when the population in game (Cities: Skylines) grows past a certain point. Also The acceleration of 2x and 4x is essentially the same as 1x. I'm in need of a more powerful setup. The budget is €2500. Most likely I'll buy from European Amazon sites, since the offers from my local Finnish retailers are usually overpriced. I'll keep using my old monitor (1440p) and peripherals.
