First Desktop PC Build

Leon02 · July 13, 2023

Budget (including currency): around 1200€

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: webbrowsing, TrackMania, Forza, Tetr.io, Single Player AAA games I didnt play yet but also some lighter games, I will also be doing some programming in java

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):

Because I dont own a Desktop yet I dont really have experience with it however I think that my Part list should be compatible I think? I also plan to upgrade this build in around a year which is why i chose am5 instead of am4 and because I will probably be using this for like 5 years before doing a big upgrade. I also want to try out VR in the future however that isnt a priority rn. I also need the Motherboard to have WiFi. 1tb of storage should be enough for me, if not then I'll just add another SSD. For a monitor I already have a 1080p 75 hz monitor but I want to add a second new main monitor later. I thought about the LG Ultragear 27‘’ 1440p 144hz (not included in the 1200€ budget), i was planning around 300€ for a monitor. Below is the Parts list.

This is good but we can make a few improvements, also get a windows key from a website like this https://www.scdkey.com/software/p201609081840431379.html
