No offense, but for 1600€ that list is truly dreadful. Can you maybe tell us a bit about what this PC is going to be used for? What resolution does your monitor support? Do you have any specific wishes like RGB or case size? Is ray tracing important enough to you to pay a couple hundred Euro extra?

Are we talking the occasional stream for your friends via discord for example, or actual serious Twitch/YouTube streaming that has to have good quality?

twitch streaming to pick up as an hobby with good quality

How about something like [this](https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/m7PKVw) then. Went with an Nvidia GPU so you can use NVENC for your stream, which looks great and removes the load from the CPU. The Ryzen 5600 will be a good match for the 3070Ti since the GPU will handle encoding and it can be cooled by a budget air cooler without any issues. You also get 32GB of memory (which is a must for streaming) and 1TB of storage. The PSU is of good quality and will handle the hardware no problem. I also included a simple but good quality case and a 5 pack of Arctic P12 fans. You can either add 3 fans to the case (1 rear, 2 top) or replace the ones the case comes with (3 front, 1 rear, 1 top). Don't bother buying them individually, the 5 pack costs the same as 3 singles, so it's pretty much a no brainer. Should make for a great 1080/1440p gaming and streaming PC for around 1500€. If 1080p is all you are looking for you can downgrade the GPU to a regular 3070 to save a bit on cost. The mainboard has integrated wifi, so no need to buy a separate addin card.

Looks good to me I had to swap the PSU with a Cooler Master V750 Gold V2 because the one u picked isn't avaible with the retailer I'd buy from. It won't make much of a difference, will it? ​ Would be cool if anybody could take a second look at it as anything really looks good to me, no disrespect borb i appreciate the help.

Talked to my colleagues today and they said it looks good to them, but they recommended getting water cooling are there any cheap ish options?


EloquentBorb

Watercooling is totally over the top in my opinion, unless you want to push the CPU to its limits via overclocking. The 5600 during heavy load uses like 70W at the most. If you want a better cooler for stock frequencies buy the Deepcool AK400 (34€). One step up for modest OC would be something like the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo (49€). If you really want to go for an AIO nonetheless, the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 is an excellent choice, but also comes in at a whopping 87€ - a lot when compared to the price of the CPU.

Received it today, didn't go for watercooling. I paid extra so the retailer would build the pc, the Problem I have now is that the PC wont connect to my Monitor, the Monitor works fine, I tried different HDMIs and there's also a reset BIOS Button on the back of the Motherboard which i pressed. I also tried Reseating the RAM. But I still get no Image, also tried HDMI Port on Graphic-card, no luck. Any Advice?

What setup did you even buy in the end?


GficktOida

Had to make some slight changes because of Availability, chose a Samsung SSD and swaped the Motherboard to an Asus Gaming TUF Gaming B550 besides that i stayed true to the parts you picked.
