I really only once built my own pc and that was years ago. Now i finally have a nice job and have around a budget of 2k € to buy a pc. Im from europe, so no american prices for me.

A friend of mine said maybe another CPU would be better? The reason i chose a watercooler was to get it very quiet. Does that achieve that? Do they have other issues i should be aware of?

I only will use this pc for gaming and watching movies. Nothing much more. I dont want a curved screen, but i dont even know if i need 165 Hz. I play shooters but only casually.

Thanks for the input already :)

EDIT:

new list without the much recommended 7800X3D but at least it keeps me under 2k€ and there is an upgrade of the GPU. I also thought about going only 27’’ but i really would like one bigger screen to watch movies.

I looked at the benchmark of the 7700 and the 7800x3d from cpumonkey and they seemed very similar with the one being somewhere better than the other and vice versa. So maybe not that much of a difference or wrong?

    Pretty incorrect information. Aircooling > AIO any day of the week. Aircooling has been proven time and time again to give lower temps vs an AIO. see here Custom loop is a different story. It is also quieter and cheaper than an AIO. I’m not sure why you think an AIO doesn’t have a pump? How do you think the liquid flows through the lines, radiator and to the CPU, magic? The pump is what causes an AIO to be louder than its air cooled counterpart. The only argument for AIO is aesthetics which is a fair argument.

    The 64GB of RAM is absolutely overkill for gaming so 32GB is fine. A 850W PSU is also definitely overkill for a 6700 XT so could drop it down to a 750W and still have room for upgrading the GPU in future.

    The 6700 XT is the best price-performance GPU you can buy right now with the current ridiculous prices. It’s target is for 1440p gaming so your comment about 4K is irrelevant especially since he has picked a 1440p monitor.
