What nvidia drivers did you used? The open source one or the proprietary one? Because I have the rtx 3070, and I have not experience a problem using the proprietary drivers in plain old debian stable, using x11

Nice! I will be waiting

Yea, with this pc market, everything could happen hahah

Yeah, in my opinion I don’t value so much if the psu is modular or not, I’m more of a functionality over look/ease of use kind of guy, but if it’s your first build, yes it might be good to go for a fully modular one.

I did a quick search and found 3 that might be useful for you and stay close to budget (850w and gold certified): -SeaSonic FOCUS GX full modular 135 euros. -Corsair RM850e (2023) fully modular 130 euros. -SeaSonic FOCUS semi modular 110 euros

I think that with any of these 3, you would not be making a mistake.

It is good to use the estimated wattage and increase it by 30%, that is useful to be safe, so 750 should be ok, BUT the thing is, amd official recommendation, says it is better to use 850 watts for that gpu. Here the link

The seasonic PSU that I recommended in one of the builds, I think it would be good for you, as long as you do not mind that it is not modular, if what you want is a modular psu, in one of the builds, I think there is a corsair 850w gold certified.

The case, if you are looking for a white one, as a personal opinion, I think the one I recommended in one of the builds is a good fit (Fractal Design Pop Mini Air MicroATX), it seems to have good airflow, white and the video card should fit with room to spare by 25 mm.

A year ago there was a drama with the gigabyte psu exploding, I don’t know how they are nowadays. With the 6900 xt is recommended a 850W psu, I imagine that 750W is enough, but sometimes it’s better to be sure.

The psu brands that are recommended are seasonic, corsair and evga(of course there are more brands recommended, but these are always my priority), If I remember correctly the corsair ones are really seasonic with a rebranding.

With the case, remember to check if the video card will fit, I see it has 5 mm of free space, but try to make a double check.

Nice build, I didn’t think you could add a ryzen 7 in that budget, but I realized that the video card I added was way more expensive than it should be.

Something to look out for, that case if I remember correctly is a bit short, and I think you might have problems with the new video cards which are quite large, you would have to check compatibility, but I think the numbers that web pages shows, are without front fans.

Now I made some changes to the build, tell me what you think, I think there will be some good surprises in this new build, I went over 15 euros, but there are options to lower it. For example, the MoBo that you send is cheaper, and there is also a good seasonic psu for 100 euros (semi modular)

build

I can understand the recommendation of x3d, it is a monster of a CPU, but more in the 0.1% and 1% loads, the importance of this will depend a lot on what you prefer, and as I said, where you want to put the strength of your budget, and if you want to game in 1440p the gpu is a lot more important than the cpu.

I also love that case you chose, in fact it is one of my favorite cases and I would love it to be available in my country, but I changed the case to be able to stick to the 2k budget and add a better GPU, also the Corsair one have a white version (and if you like to make a white build I think I need to change some component to stick to your goal aesthetics).

But here comes my personal recommendation from having done different builds over a long time (and possibly the bias of being from a third world country). I still find that the recommendation of Ryzen 7 and Intel i7 for gaming, because it will last longer is a bit exaggerated, if you have a budget, you should stick to it. And you have to know where to have compromises, for example if you go for a ryzen 7 because you say, well I am already spending 2k, adding that 100 or 150 euros is not much, but then I would say, well if you are going to add that extra 100 to 150 euros, you might as well raise your GPU budget, and the 2k budget then becomes 2.5k and so on forever.

Also as a personal experience, one often has the idea of improving your build in the future (I include myself in this), but all the times I have improved my build, I end up regretting it, the times I have not had regrets have been when I sold the entire build, to buy a new one.

So I think the best thing is. Buy the best you can with the budget you currently have for your particular goal, and for the future you buy a new build selling what you have, because in 3 to 6 more years that ryzen 7 could not age well (no one know).

Sorry for the length of this message, I just got a little motivated writing, in the end it will be your opinion that matters, and anything, I’m here to help. It should be said that there are many different prioritizations when building computers, I think you will have to find yours and that is gained with experience and possibly making mistakes.

If your main goal is to play games and watch movies I would make some changes, mainly in order to be able to use your budget and focus it on your video card, of course, I would like the opinion of others, as everyone prioritizes different things.

The important thing is that I am not from Europe, so I do not know what are the exact prices.

With the CPU I would change it for the ryzen 5 7600, ryzen 7 is just overkill and expensive for games, I would prefer to use the extra 100 euros in the GPU, for the X and non X version depends on the price difference

If what you want is silence, I would go for an air cooler, be quiet, noctua or deeplcool are good options (dark pro 4, nh-u2 and ak620 are popular), water-coolers have pumping noises

Ram memory, I would go for 32gb, in this case 2x16gb, this is a good amount for the moment.

I think you can save a little bit on the motherboard, but it’s a matter of taste and I think your choice is fine.

The case is a matter of functionality and aesthetics, but I think you can also save a little here, I personally would go for the Corsair 4000D Airflow.

And the rest of the budget, I would put it in the best video card you can afford according to your budget.

The truth is that I think this would be the best option, since having a budget of 2k € with the 6700xt is just a bad build, for example a few weeks ago I made a build for a friend with a budget of 1k that used that video card and his only focus was to play games.
