Hi this is my first time designing a custom pc and I would appreciate advice on a AMD build. I recently changed my mind from a Intel to an AMD CPU after some recommendations.
My budget is about €2,150. I'm hoping that the pc will be good enough to handle programming and some gaming and be at least somewhat better than my i3-7100U laptop.
I'm also kinda worried that it may take too much electricity.
Any feedback is very useful especially about the
Case (I really want one available on the site that looks nice, has good dust filters and can support a DVD drive ),
Processor ( Do I need a better one?),
Motherboard ( Should I upgrade it?),
Memory (RAM) ( Is it enough?) ,
Extra Case Fans ( Do I need more?),
1st Storage Drive (Is is it a good one),
Monitor ( Can it work with the pc?).
