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?
Why are you buying a new 6700xt? You can either wait for the 7700xt, which is launching soon, or get one 2nd hand for half the price …
If you are second-guessing about the CPU, you can’t go wrong with the 7800X3D. It is more expensive yes, but also a beast. With that you don’t have to upgrade for many years.
You have 64 GBs of RAM. 32GBs i more than enough, unless you do heavy video editing or other reaaally professional stuff. You should take 32GBs and use that money for better CPU or GPU.
I have been using Nvidia for a long time and haven’t had time to get into AMD scene, so I really can’t give any input on your choice of GPU.
Water cooling is not necessarily better than air cooling. Check out this video by JayzTwoCents for input: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ3c0kspOb8
Be sure to buy a fan for rear exhaust! I didn’t see one preinstalled in the case.
And lastly about the monitor. You probably could get a cheaper FreeSync monitor. Be sure to check extensive reviews that test all aspects of the monitor. That means no reviews from PC Gamer etc.
32GB is more than enough memory for now and some years, better to go with faster than more i would say. You could always put in more sticks later.
Nice list. Water cooling is overall quieter and more efficient than just air cooling. The caveat is that AIO coolers are less efficient than their custom built counterparts. The problem with the AIO coolers mainly stem from how they transfer heat from the CPU, they are built to cover a wide range of different sockets and do not normally have a pump or reservoir and suffer because of it. A custom built loop, while expensive, is the only way around this. The AIO performance will be marginally better than air cooling while trying to keep noise levels low, best not to attempt much Nice list.
It is a good build with a lot of RAM, more than most people really need 32GB should do the trick unless you do a lot of Photo or Video editing or CAD even. The 6700XT is technically a “budget” GPU but performance can be considered lacking for the price point as its 4K can be a bit under powered. The power supply should be enough, always recommend the most efficient power supply you can afford as they have a tendency to last longer Gold rated being a minimum. You may want a little more storage besides the 2tb ssd cause it runs out quick but you can always add it later.
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.
