Budget (including currency): ~ 20K NOK 

Country: Norway

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR games mostly. 

Other details: My very first computer build. I'll mostly use it for VR games but also other online games. No game streaming or photo/video editing. 

Please let me know what you think. Anything I should change? Is something overkill, or not good enough? 

 

If I am to change anything, the store has a small list of items to choose from, so I can't pick whatever I want..

 

By the way, I'm thinking about getting the CPU that includes a cooler, but for some reason I could not choose it from the list.

Don't pay full retail for Windows.

Get a cheap key from a place like Kinguin or eBay.

 

(EDIT for spelling, cuz I can't apparently)

Thanks for the tip, but the windows key is already included in the package.

Just did a quick ebay search, and it wasn't that much cheaper.

okay, so this is definitely better and at almost the same price as your build. The 10700KF is definitely better than the 3700X in almost every way. the motherboard has wifi, (ulike the motherboard of your choice) and the memory is from a better-ish brand. same ssd. the 3070 is the same price as your card, but it is better in performance. Linus did a review with a 3070vs 3060 ti vs 6700XT, and even the 3060 ti beat the 6700XT. the 3070 is better in ray tracing performance also, and it features dlss. case is from a more trustworthy brand and please note that the case fans are extremely overpriced. The price on amazon for those fans are 35 usd. you should get extra for more airflow and performance. the rgb is handled too. it is adressable, meaning that you can customize it, and it is all controllable (from the cooler rgb to the ram to the case fans to even the motherboard rgb) via msi mystic light.

Thanks for your input MechWill! I do really appreciate it. My problem is that due to the GPU "crisis", it's nearly impossible to get only a GPU in Norway these days.

There is an online store that sells gaming pc, where you can pick your own parts, but only from a small list. I can't buy all parts separately and put them together, because I would miss the GPU. 

 

The build you have put together looks good, but I don't have the opportunity to choose some of it from the store limited list..
