Budget (including currency): 

1,600 Euro (~$1800) just on the computer itself without peripherals. A hundred or so higher wouldn't be the end of the world though. 

Country: 

Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Going to be used for 1080p gaming at 144Hz at near or max settings (mostly AAA games: Red Dead 2, Assassins Creed Valhalla, Battlefield, COD...and the like) as well as general light engineering work (not worried about the computer handling the engineering programs I need to run). 

Other details:

I am just unsure if I'm creating any serious bottlenecks with the hardware I've selected. I've done a bit of research on all the parts, but I would just like some opinions on the parts list I've worked up! I've got my peripherals all sorted out so I'm just worried about the computer itself right now. I really appreciate any feedback yall are willing to give. A specific point would be the motherboard, but if there any other glaring problems let me know!

 

 

I've added a PCPartPicker list!

Looks pretty good. If you want to shave some costs, a 650W will get you by just fine. A 2tb SN550 is a couple Euro less than buying both the SSD and 1tb 550. 

This motherboard  is the same price as the Gaming X, but comes with WiFi built it. Saves another 35 euro. 

Additionally, if you don't mind a bit more fan noise, you could go to a MSI 650W to save 20 Euro over the RM650.

Consider a motherboard with. WiFi support.

 

I'd suggest a single 2TB NVMe storage device rather than two, one using a slower SATA III interface.

 

I'd suggest a less expensive, arguably better PSU.

 

Get Windows 11.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

My only comment would be to consider another motherboard, because that particular model is kinda weak when it comes to stuff on IO shield (few usb connectors, dvi for onboard video which is a waste of space, only 3 analogue audio jacks)

If you also want wireless, then go for a motherboard with wireless built in.

 

Here's some options:

 

120..128 euro : Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AC ATX AM4 Motherboard (B550 AORUS PRO AC) - PCPartPicker

 

133 euro : Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (WI-FI) Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (WI-FI)) - PCPartPicker

It's mATX so a bit shorter, but it has wifi ax (so a bit faster wireless but the ac wifi of the previous is fast enough), and as downsides is the somewhat bad layout of the sata ports (all in one line at the bottom of the board)

 

Out of the two, I'd choose the first, I like the black look and the IO shield more.

 

160 euro : Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard (TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI)) - PCPartPicker

It's the ATX version of the above matx version ... practically just 2 extra pci-e x1 slots, and the sata ports now on the right side of the board. Is it worth 30 euro more? Debatable.... I guess if you must have atx version.
