Getting a new PC and need help

Hello, I am planning on buying this PC in the next month or two and need help, will these components work together, and any improvements I could make? I am hoping it will last a long time. Will it be good to upgrade later for a better CPU and Grapich Card? This is for 2k Gaming, and I am hoping it will give me 120+ FPS on High/Ultra setting, I am fine with lowering some options down a bit. Also, I am not sure if these SSDs have DRAM, I think they do but not sure. Also is the cooler good and will it keep the CPU cool? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Graphics Card: RTX 4070 SUPER Gainward Ghost 12GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Eagel
RAM: DDR5 32GB 6000MHz Kingston Fury Beast RGB CL36 2X16GB
SSD: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB
2 SSD: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GBNVMe M.2
Power Supply: ASUS PSU TUF-GAMING-850G850W 80Plus Gold
Case: Thermaltake S200 TG ARGB Black
Cooling: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO

 

 

Budget (including currency): around 2000 Euros

Country: BiH

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly for gaming newer games like Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War Ragnarok, CoD, SpiderMan 2 etc. etc.

Can't you lower the CL towards 30 on the Ram ?

I wouldn't buy that 500GB drive, I'd rather go 2TB (or more 🙂) on one drive.

(because worse value, slot waste...)

This is a great build.  You can save a bit of money by going with a Ryzen 7600x over a 7700x.

The performance is almost identical. 

Get a 2TB M.2 over a 1TB SSD and a 500GB M.2

The Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO is good enough for the 7600x / 7700x but look into the Peerless Assassin SE 120.

The B650 Eagle is a great motherboard.  

6000Mhz CL30 is the sweetspot for RAM but CL36.. The performance will be close to if not identical.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, that is the best RAM they have, so I will have to go with that, and if the performance is in the 1 - 2% I'm fine with it. I checked the SSDs they have and found one 2TB that looks good. I want two SSDs so I will get one 2TB and one 1TB. I was looking at the Kingston SSD 2TB KC3000M.2, NVMe PCIe Gen 4.0R/W 7000/7000MB/s and the Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe M.2,3500MB/s read,2300MB/s write. However, I am not sure if these two have DRAM. Do you perhaps know? Thank you again.

No Problem! 🙂 

In the real world you won't notice the difference between CL30 and CL36, it will be less than 1-2% really. CL36 is fine 🙂 

The Kingston KC3000 has DRAM and I personally have 3 of them!  Great M.2 SSD's for the price.

Why would you want 2 SSDs? It seems like you wanna overcomplicate somethings but I digress

I edit my posts for so if you saw a typo.... no you didn't, you are just crazy

I want one to have my OS installed and other programs and one just for games. And I thought it would be good to separate them.

Great thank you will go with that one. The last question is about the Case and PSU, are they fine any issues with them? Thank you.

.... So you wanna overcomplicate it

Listen buddy you absolutely dont need 2 SSDs for that or say you want them then I'd suggest you either a)instead of 2 1tb SSDs you get 1 2tb one and organize that (seriously your best choice) OR b) get 2 decent 1tb SSDs and not an overkill one and an ok ish one so instead of the kc3000/970 evo and say the nv2 I'd snag 2 sn770s or an sn770 and an mp44l

realistically those options are the optimal choices IMO

The PSU is a decent unit with 10 year warranty. 850w is also plenty of power for this system 🙂 

I ran a overclocked 7700x and overclocked RTX 4080 on a 750w for 2 years.   During heavy gaming I saw around 420-480w full system power so I could actually have gotten away with a solid 550w.   So 850w is 'overkill' but since you will have this unit for 10+ years its also future proof for upgrades later!.

 

The Thermaltake S200 TG ARGB is a decent case as well and it comes with 3 pre-installed fans.  I would recommend buying a 120mm fan for the rear as exhaust.

I also checked the CPU Cooler clearance and both the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO and Peerless Assassin SE120 will fit in this case.

 

You are all good to go with this build.

As @Millios as mentioned.  You don't need two SSD's.  Just get one high capacity M.2 SSD. There is no reason to have two drivers just for windows and games.

Great thank you very much, I will go with the one 2TB SSD then. Thank you very much both of you. You helped a lot.
