Hello everybody,

 

This is what I got right know. Does anybody have some advice if this is a good setup for the monitor that I choose.

My budget is €2000 for the PC.

I want to order the parts today (because black Friday).

 

Thank you in advance.

That looks good.

 

You could save some money with a 550/650W PSU and a B450 MSI MAX motherboard (A-Pro, Gaming PLUS, Tomahawk or Mortar).

Also get the Black Edition of the 212

And since your budget is 2k€, you could go with a 3700x instead.

Did you already buy the monitor? As this one basically has the same specs for almost half the price.

Really don't need all of those fans, just buy a Coolermaster H500 or something with it's 2 200mm fans.

and you can pretty easily get away with a cheaper GPU that will still do just fine

might as well go NVME and get a bigger CPU cooler as well

 

too bad 3600mhz CL16 RAM is so expensive there

Also spend $20 more on the board to get a nicer one

can just toss in a 3700X with the savings as well.

you can do with a good 550w here

 

these coolers are much better for less

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/887315/gelid-solutions-phantom-black.html

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/887311/gelid-solutions-phantom.html

 

you can get a better ram kit (micron e can manually max out at 3600-3800mhz)

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1300838/crucial-ballistix-sport-lt-ballistix-bls2k8g4d30aesbk.html

 

you can save a lot on the psu

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1182867/corsair-rm550x-(2018)-zwart.html

 

you could swap the ssd if you want

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1248015/adata-xpg-sx6000-pro-512gb.html

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1256425/crucial-p1-500gb-(ct500p1ssd8).html

 

otherwise i don't really see any huge issues with it, though if you want you could save on the board with a decent b450

if it's purely for gaming it makes no sense to get a 3700x for most games

I want a g-sync monitor so the MSI Optix MAG341CQ is not really a option. (and I already bought it)

With the g-sync manager comes a 2080 super.

I don't like the looks of the corsair H500.

I don't think the 3700x is a good option for €150 more then the 3600.

Why should I get faster RAM if the CPU can't use that faster speed?

Why do I need a bigger CPU cooler when the one I choose has a bigger CFM than the  Scythe FUMA 2 51.17 CFM and is more expensive?

 

These are serious questions because I want to learn more about computers and this my first build so this is all new for me. And everybody tells me something different.

Good choices imo

He meant the Cooler Master H500 but to each their own.

True as stated by @LukeSavenije

The 3rd gen can go up to 4400MHz but 3600 is the sweet spot, at minimum you want 3000 CL15 or 3200 CL16.

CFM doesn't mean better cooling, the FUMA 2 > 212, you can learn more here :

 

 

[Pascal0997]

@Plouffe Thank you for your responds.

 

I changed the CPU cooler to the FUMA 2. Thank you for clarifying that misunderstanding of the CFM.

 

I choose the 

G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory

 for RAM do you think these are good DDR4-3600 memory?

Those 2 will be better because of the timing (CL18 instead of CL19).

@Plouffe

Thank you.

I choose the Corsair LPX 16 because of the (in my opinion) simpler and better look.

 

Thank you. I think I'm ready to start buying all the components.
