Hello to my favourite forum.
I’m trying to assemble my first PC ever (I’m a computer engineering undergrad) and I keep looking up information because… second thoughts. My brain hurts.
I want to start playing games since I never had the setup before, and I need a powerful PC that can handle things in the future, especially when I have a grown-up job.
Here’s a link to my PC part picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/43mymD
I’m having second thoughts because I don’t want to waste money, as my budget is around 1100 Euros. Also, I should mention I want some RGB lighting and the case isn’t what I’m planning to buy, since there are other options available.
Feel free to contribute and help me out or suggest ideas! I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
In general the situation wasn't too bad. I implemented a few adjustments.
Thank you very much for the suggestions and for checking it out!

Thank you very much for the suggestions and for spending time searching on Greek websites too, I truly appreciate it!
Sorry, I can't access information from other countries due to taxes and customs. It would be difficult to return something under warranty. That's why I avoid doing it. I'll check local stores for these items.
Hey everyone, I’ve finally purchased the motherboard. I chose the first option because my brother and friends use MSI TOMAHAWK mobos and they’re totally okay with it.
I bought it for 192 euros (about 210 dollars), which felt like a good deal since I got it from a reliable shop. I’m planning to pick it up myself, so no delivery hassle. I’ll also get a refund if it’s defective (hopefully not 😊).
Thanks for all the advice and I’ll keep you updated. My adventure just started and I’m super excited!
