No images available? Here’s how I can assess it.
Looking at the parts, the black fishbowl case might face issues with airflow because there’s no front intake for the air stream. The CPU is solid; an AMD Ryzen 9000-series would have offered a better value. The motherboard has a decent setup—16+1+2 VRM—but the white heatsinks/add-ons aren’t ideal. RAM quality is acceptable, though CL36 is on the higher side; CL32 or CL30 would have been preferable. As for looks, it’s hard to judge unless you see the heatsink color. The PSU from Seasonic is generally good, but not all models are the same. Core GX feels of average quality; for this build, a bare minimum would be a Seasonic Focus, while Seasonic Vertex is the better pick and Seasonic PRIME stands out. The SSD M.2 SN850X is a solid option. The 360mm CPU cooler works well, though I’m not a fan of AIOs. Air coolers seem to suit me better. The GPU performance depends on your needs, but it falls short in some areas. The striped or gray aesthetic doesn’t match the rest of the system. Storage options are limited by how much you need. In summary, there are a few drawbacks (like the PSU) and an aesthetic mismatch. After putting everything together and sharing photos, I can give a proper rating—especially on cable management. Feel free to check my previous builds and specs if you want.
Edit: Your rating suggestions were helpful.
CPU – high-end
GPU – mid-tier
RAM – mid-tier
PSU – below mid-tier (Focus would have been mid-tier)
Summary: A mid-tier build overall.
The country is Crete and the budget? By the way, are you on a German site, Skroutz.gr or this one...
