First gaming PC build.

[Exploji]

Hey everybody, I am from Slovenia and  on black friday/cyber monday I plan on buying my first custom build computer for gaming and casual work most likely from Germany since it's the cheapest option for me.

I am prepared to spent around 1450€. I might do overclocking but not sure yet. Could the Noctua nh-U12S handle overclocking ? I wanted to go with the NH-D15 but the ram sticks would not fit than.

I already have a 144hz monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Thoughts on the build are appreciated  Thanks

the cooler can handle overclocking, but ryzen doesnt overclock very well itself

it looks like a good build!

Looks good. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that motherboard will require a bios update for the ryzen 3000.

 

Also, what monitor did you choose? I am still looking for a good gaming monitor.

The Tomahawk MAX works out of the box with the 3000 series. All the MSI MAX boards do.

I went with AOC 24g2U, it's a great 144hz 1 ms monitor with an IPS panel for under 200€.

Not to ruin your fun but...I got the exact same model. Seemed like the absolute best choice on paper. Came with a dead pixel. The overall color accuracy was good and the 144hz felt nice but it had poor color uniformity especially towards the edges, worse than some TN and VA monitors I saw. Yes, I did the proper calibration. I returned it. Maybe your panel will be better, after all not all displays with the same model are identical.
