Create a gaming build for approximately $1500?
The link indicates it contains the boxed CPU, which should come with a suitable cooler for its current use. Once you receive the new CPU, that’s when I’d consider upgrading to a cooler. But if you need an immediate solution, this is one of the top coolers available right now. It’s a bit disappointing. On PCPartPicker it displayed a cost of 138 Euros at the time I checked, but that number may vary. Save some money and opt for the 980 Pro instead.
The RMx is a great PSU. The RMx Shift is the 2023 model that meets ATX 3.0 standards. This piece explains the changes in more detail for ATX 3.0. In my view, there’s no need to purchase a non-ATX 3.0 PSU in 2024 (provided it fits your budget and case).
The 7900GRE is roughly 10% faster than the 7800XT. The 7800XT typically starts around 500 Euros, making the 7900GRE comparable in price and performance. Here are two choices: I own an ASRock Challenger OC 6700XT, which runs quietly even at full load.

I see more than I understand.
The case I chose is fully equipped with all the large, high-quality fans I require and it's completely silent. Black was 40 dollars more, but I don't care about looks. The dampening foam is essential. The same applies to the board—it has all the features I need, including PCI-5, which your pricier options lack.
If you checked the prices, you'd likely agree that most of your other recommendations are overpriced with no real advantage.
That was the concept of using 7600 instead of 7500F for just 13€ more. It's also great to have onboard gfx available as a backup.
Do I really need such an advanced cooler? Let's wait for detailed thermal load information about next-gen CPUs...
Right, 138 for your model, 124 for the 980 Pro.
The only part I've already purchased is...
Thanks for the advice! I have one more topic to explore before midnight. 😄
Based on the benchmarks I've seen, it's about a 7% performance gap.
I'm hesitant to buy now because I've found better deals before—like 490 for a 7800XT and 524 for an ASRock 7900GRE. I don't think I'll wait long for something similar. Special offers appear regularly.
Yes, any of these with a discount of 30€ or less would work for me. 🙂
Thanks for your hard work, Jeremy! Your help was really valuable.
Are you really requiring 64gb of RAM? In 2024, with games becoming more CPU-intensive, it feels a bit outdated.
