Go with the 7600 XT. 16GB VRAM is amazing today

 

You can find a Ryzen 7 7700x for about $250 if you need a bit of a boost

Thanks for the parts list. I did have a few questions about it:

 

1. CPU: For only €30 more I have the X variant, which has proven to still be a bit better. I also started looking and found that I could get away with buying a Ryzen 7 8700F. Would that improve my gaming experience a lot? It does have more cores and I wouldn't need an additional cooler due to the Stock cooler delivered with it.


2. Motherboard: I chose that MSI board, mainly due to the PCIe 5 expansion slots, with future GPU upgrades in mind. Is it worth it or is that really unnecessary?

3. Storage: Does a DRAM-cache matter for my build?

Thanks for all you help!

1. The 8700F isn't a good choice for a gaming cpu. If it doesn't affect your budget then grab the 7600 (non X) or the 7600X. There's a 1 - 2 fps difference between those two cpu's.

 

2. Smart move by grabbing a board with PCIe 5.0 seeing how these new graphics cards support PCIe 5.0

 

3. No need for DRAM cache for a gaming build.

I decided to just spend just a little more to get a bit of a higher end build. Here it is:

Thanks again! One more question: You chose a bit of a worse CPU (like not the "X" variant). Will this impact performance a lot? And could I get away with the stock cooler (this one IS delivered with the stock cooler). Cause if not, I found a really good "Second Chance" for the 7600X for only €205.

As that link I posted shows, there's a 1 - 2 frame per second difference between those two cpu's depending on the game. I would go with an aftermarket cpu cooler for either of those cpu's.
