Not to alter the topic but it seems Eastern Europe has these CPUs, yet we still lack them in the US. We need to place orders from a Chinese site to get these CPUs.
I've had a look around and in finland, which is not a million miles from latvia, those CPUs are not available. 7700s yes, but no 7500.
Saw this bundle on sale too:
MSI PRO B650-S WIFI, AMD Ryzen 7 7700, Corsair 32GB (2 x 16GB) Vengeance, DDR5 6000MHz, CL36
for ~650 euro. Nice start for a build.
Back on topic, i want to thank everyone for posting such good advice. The build is really nice.
I spotted one gotcha. The PSU warranty offered is only 2 years. Not because the PSU is bad, but because the store is... well, i guess it's not really nice of them to only offer a measly 2 years. Few PSUs have more than 2 years of warranty. That's odd.
The MSI suggested is good, but maybe i would pick the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 850 over the MSI. The price difference is not much. -

As for the motherboards, compare these two with the MSI PRO:
~228 euro MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI -

~265 euro Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2 -
https://www.dateks.lv/cenas/sistemplates...lite-ax-v2
Both seem like solid choices. The Gigabyte supports RAM OC up to 8000Mhz, otherwise they're not much different.
Are USB ports, SATA ports or M.2 slots important to you? Because that is how you can narrow down your selection so you don't overpay for features you will not use.
Need at least four USB ports for mouse, keyboard, headset, plus one extra. There should be one SATA port for the old SSD and two M.2 slots—one 4-gen and one 5-gen. I’m trying to figure out what makes your power supply quieter compared to others. The warranty here is two years, which is a bit short in Latvia, where the minimum is usually two years.
When dealing with motherboards, special attention is required for power delivery on cheaper boards since manufacturers often compromise. Here are some key points to consider: https://www.techspot.com/review/2699-amd...herboards/
There appears to be minimal variation between the two PSUs. The Thermaltake seems slightly superior, though not significantly so.
