AMD gaming/streaming config

[Parideboy]

Budget (including currency): ~2000€

Country: Italy

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming primarily, probably some streaming too

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

Hi everyone, I haven't paid attention to the latest and greatest and I'm going to need your help on this one

I'm upgrading from the build in my signature that has been upgraded over the years. I'm mostly CPU limited in multiplayer games (such as Fortnite, cod) and GPU limited in single-player ones.

I've been playing Ghostwire Tokio lately, averaging 80ish to 120ish fps on 2k with everything cranked to the bare minimum.

 

I'm looking to play at 4k@144hz but it doesn't have to be at max settings. I'm willing to sacrifice some graphical fidelity for smoothness.

 

I would like to salvage everything I can from my existing system. Case, cooler, storage, and hopefully psu even tho I assume 650w isn't going to cut it.

 

I think I will be going amd with this one since I can upgrade the CPU later in the future if it doesn't fit my needs anymore.

 

Motherboard: Literally no clue. I would like to have some fun with overclocking/undervolting, but nothing to extreme. I don't have any fancy needs, besides some solid vrm. A good b650 should be fine, but which one?

CPU: 7600x? 7700?

GPU: I probably need at least 12gb of vram, maybe 16? The nvenc encoder is a nice plus, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'm open to considering even Intel if it makes sense in my build.

I don't have any preference on board partners either (besides the gigabyte debacle), I'm not aware of any flaws with specific graphics cards

STORAGE: I really want to try an nvme drive finally. Doesn't have to be anything fancy

RAM: Right now I have 32gb and it's plenty for what I'm doing. 2x16 should be the right choice, since going any lower would feel like a downgrade for me

CASE: I would like to use my define r5, I don't see any clearance issues.

PSU: Depends on the gpu I think. With a 4080 and a 7600 I should barely fit it.
COOLER: the nh-d15 should be ok. I have the am4 version tho, do I need to buy an am5 mounting kit?

I was thinking of something like this:

What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your feedback

Bro if you're aiming for 4k 144hz, you want to shell out a lot more coin than a 7600x/7700x based system is worth

It's an ok build

I'd get a DP AK620 cooler for 75EUR i/io the 110EUR Noctua, rest is ok.

What would you suggest?

Thanks, I just added the noctua to check compatibility, I already have it in my current system.

Do you have any other suggestions?

The 7600x and 7700x are both really good at gaming and at 4k the gpu matters way more so unless they can afford to upgrade the cpu without having to get a cheaper gpu I would prioritize the gpu for sure.

That was my thought process, I think I'm going to order the components in the following days
