Getting a new gaming Pc

Looking to get a new pc for some gaming for the likes of battlefield 2042 halo infinite withcer 3 Etc.

Put this build together on pc specialists website just wondering if its a good price.

Priced some of the parts as a self built but they kinda came close enough to the end price of what im getting with them.

Ill link the build, left out 2nd ssd as i might get one later on cheaper

Looks fine, I'd drop the WiFi card and just change the motherboard to Gigabyte B550 Elite AX V2.

However that's a huge markup to be paying - similar self-build is 300eur cheaper: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/rFr4pH

That's a big enough difference where you could be upgrading the GPU to RTX 3070 Ti & SSD to 1Tb with change left!

For those games why not get an Xbox Series X, it would be much much cheaper, has great performance, is simple to use and they are readily available now ???

Witcher 3 mods are a good enough reason to buy PC over console. 😎

Not sure why you are going for budget motherboard - Asus STRIX B550-E is only a bit more and gives you 2x USB-C ports; or there's Gigabyte Aorus AX V2 with 4x USB 3.2

Just trying to shave a few euro off, https://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/bofeenaun1/saved/c3HpK8changed the case as its bit cheaper. How does that look the Asus was used so went with the Gigabyte.

That looks very balanced.

Pick a 600W PSU. Part picker says you're yet to reach 400W so you really don't need a 130+ euros PSU...
