Hey, I'm planning on build my first tower after years of playing on laptops. I will be following the recommendations so it can be easier for everyone.
1. Budget & Location
1000€ in Portugal, so items can be a bit more expensive.
The budget is only for the tower.
2. Aim
Gaming and the usual use like watching streams, browsing the internet and likewise.
3. Monitors
One for now, two in the future. 1080p 144hz is enough for now.
4. Peripherals
None needed. Besides monitor but I can do that myself.
5. Why are you upgrading?
Honestly, the charger for my laptop died, so I'm using that as an excuse to update from my 3.5 year old laptop instead of buying a replacement.
This is what I think I will be building:

Small Mistake on my part, the Gpu is the RX 5700, The non XT version
The Gpu costs 395€ so in total it is 990.70
Need help with the case and power supply because I have no idea.
And the CPU and GPU, is the Ryzen 5 3600 the best choice or is any Intel that is comparable? And is the Gpu really worth more 100€ than the 1660 Ti?
