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?

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.
