As im out of game for longer time ill appreciate any advice and suggestions.
Ill probably buy more RAM and another SSD later on.
Im mostly concern about cooling - i don't wanna go with water one, i cant really find any info about this FrostFlow 150 or 200, whats the difference etc, after doing some research i would prefer Noctua.
Power supply is a little bit bigger but i prefer this way.
I can also change Case, its really hard to choose something, its really confusing :) i don't care really about any lights , i just wanna make sure all fit nicely inside, i have some extra fans, and maybe those removable panels around fans to clean dust easier (that would be great).

Cheers :D

This looks pretty good: there are a few changes I'd probably suggest, but not terribly radical. What will you be using the machine for? What monitor will you be using? And is it right to assume a ~2000€ budget?

Hi
Some photo/video editing (as a amatour, nothing profesional), photoshop, gaming. Im gonna change monitor later for something new, no 4k - i don't really need it. And budget is around this price, yes.

What's your budget for the monitor as that will influence the build? Or do you know a make and model you're interested in?

I didn't choose any monitor yet, ill focus on it in like 2 months or something, was thinking about something up to 32-38inch. I don't really know how to answer this question atm.
I want to know more about case for example. I want to make sure its big enough, with planty space inside and 5-6 fans.

Size on the monitor doesn't really mean anything, the resolution and refresh rate will dictate the power required by the PC to drive it.

Over 32" would be 4k unquestionably and they cost around £800 upwards for a basic gaming monitor.
