need help €3000 build, Is there anything I should consider swapping out?

Adore · October 4, 2024

Budget (including currency): 3000 Euro

Country: Ireland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming/Streaming/Coding

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):

Laptop broke recently and can't be repaired, finally decided the trade offs laptops have vs a desktop were no longer worth it so here we are.

Since I've only really run out of higher end laptops instead of desktops I don't really have much I can salvage for the build.

I'll be running dual monitor, maybe a 3rd after a while but peripherals aren't included in this budget. It's my first pc build I've done so I'd really appreciate any input.

I mostly play indie games but also games like BG3, Monster Hunter and Elden Ring.

Couple things if you want to save money:

CPU Cooler is way too expensive for an X3D chip. Grab a Peerless Assassin, Phantom Spirit, or similar for 35. SSD... don't need a Pro drive, as only serious production work benefits, like huge file 4K/8K video editing for example.

Performance-wise, the RAM should be 6000CL30, not 36 ( I know I have 36, but it was a bundle way back :P). I would suggest G. Skill as well but not sure if they have white RAM.

I think you know the case + fans is just an ungodly amount of money, but you want a fishbowl to look at so I get it.

You can go with a cheaper PSU as well, even 850w is enough.

There are cheaper white options out there if you want to save a little.

White cases on PCPartpicker, unless you're locked on the Hyte...
