I really only once built my own pc and that was years ago. Now i finally have a nice job and have around a budget of 2k € to buy a pc. Im from europe, so no american prices for me.

A friend of mine said maybe another CPU would be better? The reason i chose a watercooler was to get it very quiet. Does that achieve that? Do they have other issues i should be aware of?

I only will use this pc for gaming and watching movies. Nothing much more. I dont want a curved screen, but i dont even know if i need 165 Hz. I play shooters but only casually.

Thanks for the input already :)

EDIT:

new list without the much recommended 7800X3D but at least it keeps me under 2k€ and there is an upgrade of the GPU. I also thought about going only 27’’ but i really would like one bigger screen to watch movies.

I looked at the benchmark of the 7700 and the 7800x3d from cpumonkey and they seemed very similar with the one being somewhere better than the other and vice versa. So maybe not that much of a difference or wrong?

    I wouldn’t go with watercooling as the pump can be even more noisy (had 2 AIOs, both pumps were louder than any fans) so I would go with a good heatsink, like Noctua NH-D15 or be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. 64GB ram is a lot, unless you need it specifically for something I would go with 32GB and also for 2k€ PC I would downgrade CPU to R5 7600X and put the saved money to better GPU. (Slightly better GPU with slightly worse CPU = better fps on most titles than vice versa)

    And what comes to monitors it’s just preference on what quality and features you want. If you play a lot of “cinematic” titles I would go for better image quality over refresh rate, and have some form of variable refresh rate so you don’t need to sacrfice too much game graphical quality for smooth fps. And if you have never had monitor with high refresh rate don’t go too high at first because there is no coming back.

    Otherwise seems like a decent build

      Which GPU would you recommend? Thanks for the input, never had a water-cooler and I just want to quietest build possible since my old PC is huffing and puffing. Should I buy extra fans for the case too?
