My first ever PC build

[MidnightCrashB]

Budget (including currency): EUR 1500

Country: Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Sims 4, Civilization, Half life (not VR), CS:GO, EuroTruck, AoE 4, WoW

Other details: No PC parts, peripherals not needed, monitor: Samsung 27" QHD 144hz, Freesync  

 

Details: This is going to be my first ever PC build. The last time I installed a graphics card it was into an AGP slot so not exactly knowledgeable about current components.

Ideally, I would like to build a PC mainly meant for gaming even though I do not play the most intensive games, would like something that will not necessarily need an update in the near future. 

Current budget is around EUR 1400-1500. I put a list together by looking at suppliers near me.

Any thoughts on the list is much appreciated.

You could buy a motherboard that has wifi built in >> Msi 7C37-001R Mpg X570 Gaming Edge Wifi Moederbord

That board is terrible. The B550 version would be a much better option.

Also, theres cheaper Wifi Available. Mine only costs around 30€ and it has Wifi 6

I would scale down on the Power supply, only a 750w one cause you CPU is Power efficient

Storage also, maybe split between a smaller M.2 NVME (500 or 250GB) and a Harddrive (2TB Seagate for 50€) - thats a storage sweetspot right now

Try to opt for a better GPU, Maybe a 3060(TI) or a 5700XT/6700XT, if you can find one thats still in you budget
