Help, I do not know what I can change so it will all fit in the budget

 

Games that I play: Fortnite, CS2, Death Stranding 2, and other AAA titles

(Monitor can be changed, but it shouldn't be less than 100Hz)

 

Any help is appreciated :))

I would say that 550w a bit close to the mark i would go 750w but thats all i see that wrong.

 

What you planning to use monitor wise 1080, 1440, 2k, 4k.............

I don't want something fancy as a monitor, I just want to have 1080px and more than 100Hz.

To me, a good monitor is just as important as good components to enjoy games.

You list Death Stranding and AAA games, I would recommend looking a bit more into monitors.

The one you picked out is a VA panel, I personally hate VA.

 

Rest of the list looks good. I would look into a 650w PSU.

 

But I also understand that you are over budget as it is.

Agreed, my monitor was my most expensive component when I build the machine in 2017, even over the 1080Ti.

 

It may make more sense to go AM4 here.

Remember that you can save a bit of money by going with a Ryzen 7600 non X and use the stock cooler that comes with it.

Or yes, the 7600 with stock is the way to go here if AM5.

I really want to make my PC future-proof. Maybe I could get the R5 8400F? It's really cheap

 

Maybe I could also change the GPU from RX 9060 XT to RX 7600 or RX 7700

Future proof just means spending more NOW to maybe not in the future.  Don't buy into future proof talk.

Thanks a lot for the list of parts. I might change the motherboard because I can't use Ethernet. Or maybe I could buy a USB WiFi dongle.

Depending on the dongle, I would prefer the motherboard wifi.  Usually thats the best option for the money, to have it included. 

 

USB wifi dongles usually suck.  Good PCIe ones may or may not be more expensive that a wifi motherboard difference.

 

You'll just have to play around with the pricing and puzzle that is "building your own PC"
