Gaming PC - £2500

Hi guys,

I'm going to buy a gaming pc.
My budget is £2500 for PC and monitor.
I want to have a gaming PC for few years.
Can you help me to build one please:

Looks good.
So this is the best setup I can get in this price range?

The X570 board is well reviewed in link.

The 5900X, the next CPU is out of stock and costs a great deal more. Or you go 5600X.

The RAM could be changed to another of your choice, Corsair RGB is popular. But you can get 32 for less.

PSU is good, Corsair is a good way to go for PSU.

You could get another NVME PCI -E 4, to get even more speed.

▷ Corsair Force MP600 series 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4… | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk) £169.99!!!!

The Bequiet case and CPU cooler is highly rated, however, subjective choice?

The graphics card is one of the fastest on the market and one of the latest. Plus in stock.

It depends if you would like a small form factor or a larger one? Do you want full blinged out RGB lights, some or none. You can get an itx case which takes up less space, is easier to carry about and good on thermals or a larger atx case. It all depends on your needs and wishes

Do you prefer normal room illumination, or darkened room?
VA has the way best contrast of LCDs making it must in darker environment.
But its response times are "challenged" as in lot slower than others in dark shades causing what's called as "VA black smear".

IPS which is at usual LCD contrast level has lot more consistent response times and doesn't really cost any more.

That Corsair is plain rape&robbery level brand and Ridiculously Grossly Bloated overpriced.
That latency kits can be gotten for nearly hundred less.

With either same latency RGB kit or actually faster latency kit available for £150.

For perspective Patriot even has 64GB kit for £10 less!

Zero sense to waste M.2 slots for two smaller drives instead of one big.

And instead of Intel's dented heatspreader optimized convex base heatsink for Ryzen's convex heatspreader flat base heatsink gives better contact at wider area:

That applies also to older monolithic single silicon die Ryzens.
Just yesterday in Finnish PC forum one user commented about temperatures his Ryzen 2600 had with Cryorig H7.
After grinding/lapping base of heatsink flat temps had lowered from 74C to 66C with also max fan speed dropping by 300RPM.

Alpenfohn Brocken 3 would be high end single tower with flat base giving more surely good contact with that off center chiplet.

I said the RAM was expensive. The OP wanted a build. The build works together. I also said there is cheaper RAM.

I don't read Finnish forums....
