Hello, I'm new to LTT forum, so if this is not the right place to post this topic please inform me and I'll remove the post.

So I'm going to get my first paycheck in 2 weeks and I wanna build a gaming PC with it.

Budget: 1940$ (will be spent only on the case)

Mother Board: Rog Strix B650E-F

CPU: 7600X

GPU: 4070 Ti

PSU: MSI 850G

RAM: Ripjaws S5 CL36 5600MHz

SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME

CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK500 68.99 CFM

Quick tip, always use pc part picker as it shows you compatibility and what stores have the best price.

 

In the link provided it took your build and modified it a bit, here are my notes:

CPU: Perfectly fine cpu

Heatsink: I don't know too much about this cooler, but it seems good, if you want to get a better more common one, I don't think that would be a bad idea

MOBO: Perfectly fine, some people are boycotting Asus right now, but its a personal choice

Memory: This kit is a bit cheaper and has higher speeds, I am assuming the kit you selected was the 64 gb one, which is a bit overkill for anything other than renderings I selected a 32GB kit

Storage: 1TB is just not enough anymore, using the SSD as a boot drive and storage for regular files and having a high-capacity HDD for games is a good practice

GPU: Is just fine

Case: The one you listed I have never heard of and don't know, the one in the list is my personal go-to case. It has great airflow and is long enough to hold bigger modern GPUs

PSU: having 1000w is just a good safeguard for future upgradability

thank you for your reply. and thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately I live in Iran and I have to make do with the available parts here. I picked the MSI 850G PSU because it has ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5 (I'm not sure what these standards are, but I wanna take full advantage of my 40s GPU). I also have a question, I was told by multiple people that I shouldn't pick MSI PSUs, Do you know why they said it?

As for the case I had to choose some cheap case that's available in Iran, because I wanted to spend most my budget on the PSU and CPU and GPU. (link to the case: https://emalls.ir/مشخصات_کیس-کامپیوتر-گرین-مدل-GRIFFIN-G4~id~10747756)

Motherboard is too expensive, save some there and move to a better CPU.

Give us a link to places you can buy things from.

these 2 places usually have everything, but the websites are Persian (Farsi),

and I chose the Motherboard because it has support for PCIe 5

Eh, PCIE 5.  Real World use, no.  Direct Storage required, no.  SATA ssd's game as fast as Gen4 drives, yes.

 

PCIe 5 is hype, nothing more.

 

So while you use Gen4 and wait for Gen5, then get Gen5 for MORE money, and not better performance... you're using a Ryzen 7600?  Not what I would do.  CPU drives performance.

so should I use 7700X? Do you think that's good?

I think the 7700x (or even the 7700), is a fantastic CPU.  8/16, high boost, PBO tameable, top 5 best gaming CPU arguably, etc.  Oh wait, I have one

 

But yes, find a cheaper board that has Gen 5 if you want it (it's your money, of course), but definitely move up to the 7700x over the 7600.
