So my brother wants a gaming pc. His budget was around €550. This is what I came up with:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kPRPhq

(Couldn't find the case but it's €38)

Total price when buying from the same website (in the Netherlands): €585 including 2 sata cables. I can get windows 10 education for him for free, basically win10 pro. Thoughts? :)

What about this? The PSU you chose is not a good unit and the RX 470 is around 30% faster than the 1050Ti.

This UV400 series is actually good. It's a bit slower than ADATA SP550 and it's very cheap + has a 3 year warranty. The V300 ones were bad after they switched the NAND to asynchronous one.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION

I've had my vs450 for over 2 years and it's running my rx 470 just fine... Is it really that bad?

Performance wise not bad, has sleeved cables too, only the interior components uses Chinese capacitors so don't stress it too much or try to cook it in a hot room
