Budget (including currency): roughly 1200 euros (preferably less but a little over, I can work with)

Country: Greece

 

Games, programs, or workloads that it will be used for: 

Gaming (with games that matter for performance)

— Marvel Rivals

— Tekken 8

— Street Fighter 6

— The Finals

— Arc Raiders

— Some Fortnite and Apex Legends

— Cyberpunk (No RT)

and other games that are so light, performance is a non issue like Silk song, LoL, Genshin/Star Rail etc

 

I am going to do some creative work like video editing and image editing, but I use GIMP/AFFINITY and Da Vinci Resolve, so AMD is also a more than viable option because I do not use AI, do 3d work (at a level where it matters) or need it for ADOBE anything

 

Other details: I am purchasing in a few days (close to Black Friday), I will be using a specific website due to the fact they assemble it for free for you and give a 3-year warranty, and I am (for now) staying at 1080p so 1440p won't matter too much and lastly, I do not care for RGB or appearance and would prefer to put more into performance rather than the look.

Site of purchase: https://www.e-shop.gr/ for anyone who wants to directly check for a certain product that thinks is a better VfM/deal/fit

 

Basically, I'd like a 2nd, 3rd, or however many pair of eyes to check what I came up with in case I missed something or made lapses of judgments (price is rounded to nearest 0 or 5 for simplicity, I used PCPP Italy so I can use Euros)

Few notes as to why I picked some stuff:
The motherboard for the I/O on the back

The SSD for its durability and speed (and good review from TPU)

The PSU because the 750w version is only 1.5 euros less, and it'll allow me to upgrade with more ease later down the line

The CPU because it (somehow) is cheaper than the non X and the website doesn't have 7500F

 

 

Any opinion or a suggestion is welcome

Looks good, though personally I would probably not go with an Asrock board as those still seem to have the most issues with frying CPUs on AM5 (from what I have read).

AFAIK, this concerns mostly b850 and x870 boards with x3d chips, of which I am not too concerned because on a previous relative discussion with @podkall I mentioned that I don't plan on getting a x3d chip and at most a 7900 or 9900 non X.

 

And it is possibly fixed for the most part (? if TPU is to be 100% believed)

hmmmmmmmmmm

 

Probably the only alternative I'd find, is different case, and everything else is probably as cheap as it gets.

A lil hesitant on that case due to the front being basically covered up

From what I could find, it was the cheapest ok case available (with pre-installed fans), if I were to change it tho, perhaps this, that also is fully decked on fans too?

I can cut down a bit from here and there, but it also comes with a few downgrades like this

For about 25 euros tho, I think what I chose initially is an ok "upgrade"

 

And for mATX I can get 17 euros back which again I dont think will make all that much a difference right now

(mostly the RAM is Fking me over due to its price hike these past few weeks)
