New build. CPU? Temperature? Noise levels?

[jeff_div]

Budget (including currency): 1500 EUR (incl display, which costs ~210 eur where I live)

Country: Poland

Games: Arena Breakout Infinite 1440p 100+ fps; The Finals

Other details: My priorities are performance/$ (assuming DLSS 3 plays a big role here, plus ray tracing becomes mandatory soon?), quietness, easy temperature management;

gonna be my first ever complete build, since fidgeting with an old PC from school years

 

That's my draft build (adjusted - ram was missing):

Hi, guys! Thank you for keeping this place alive - you provide incredible help to all the rookies (and I assume not only them), making the World a better place!

To all husbands and wives in the lobby - please, take off your rings, so you don't injure yourself with all the facepalming

 

Advisory needed #1 (CPU): 8600g vs 7600x,

7600x is more expensive and draws more power, which probably means tougher cooling. Will I get away with 8600g, i.e.

will it bottleneck MSI's 4070 super?

PCpp says i will need to update bios of the mb - can this be done as it is, or I will effectively need a cpu to run bios update and only then I can swap cpu to 8600g?

 

Advisory needed #2 (cooling):

Do I have enough cooling in general?

GPU has just 2 coolers, and will the case have enough airflow?

Will the selected cooler be enough for the 7600x as well as for 8600g?

 

Advisory needed #3:

In your opinion, should I go for Be quiet! products (psu, cpu cooler), chasing the low noise levels, or from experience there are better solutions for the price?

 

Thank you in advance for your time to at least partially address my concerns!

Have a wonderful day!

7600x all day everyday againts 8600g and the asus monitor is better than the dell one imo.

Thanks for your advice re CPU! You meant 8600g though, right?

 

As for the proposed changes:

I guess I'd need to go for 32gb, as devs of ABI recommend 32gb for smoother experience, counting ssd on top, it already gets a bit expensive

 

Thanks for your opinion re monitor - I couldn't find it on rtings, unfortunately. I initially picked Dell for 450 cd/m2 brightness and nicer reviews vs competition. That Asus seems to have lower brightness at least per specs, but I'll look deeper into it!

sorry yes I meant 8600g but go with the 7600x.

try to fing 32gb for chep.. Its not like you're building a pc everyday.

Both displays are DisplayHDR 400 which means they must meet certain criteria like brightness which both of them do. Asus has a slightly better color accuracy from the box and its 180hz compared to 165hz. With both of them you wont go wrong in that price range I would say.
