Arguments:
- 7800X3D is the fastest gaming CPU at the moment. It will last you for years to come.
- The Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120 SE is cheap but offers amazing cooling performance and is also recommended by GamersNexus. It cools like the Noctua NHG-D15 G2 at less then half the price.
- The B650 Aorus Elite offers high quality VRM's, much better then the competition.
- The Lexar Ares RGB 32 GB is not only the cheapest DDR5 6000 kit I could find, but also offered better timings then more expensive kits from Corsair. For an X3D CPU, the memory is less important and DDR5 6000 is recommended for Ryzen 7000 CPU's.
- The SN850X has a good value/performance balance. There are faster NVME's but they cost a lot more.
- The 7800XT is the cheapest GPU at the moment that can actually get you 100FPS on 1440p. The 4070 Super is better but costs A LOT more. Even the regular 4070 is more expensive despite being much slower in most games.
- The Lian Li Lancool 216 offers amazing cooling performance. I personally prefer the looks of the Fractal Design Torrent but the Lian Li case is much cheaper.
- You can never go wrong with a Seasonic PSU and with 1000WATT 80+ gold, you are good for future upgrades.

Remember to:
