I made the following parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4ksFHG
Costs 900 USD. I’ve got 100 dollars extra, what should I upgrade? Or just leave it as is and spend the last hundred on a nicer monitor? This will be a gaming pc. Must be an AMD GPU tho, and the mobo needs to have wifi. Thanks all :)

EDIT: i think imma spend it on case fans. 4 be quiet! SILENT WINGS 4 (3x140mm, 1x120mm) to keep the noise down

EDIT 2: heres the updated list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/strawbee/saved/rzTCrH

added some case fans, nicer ram, a nicer mobo (the first one didnt have usb gen 2 header, need it for the usb c port on the case). I do plan on getting the 7600 XT rather than the 6700 whenever that releases

      i went with bequiet! for them to be quiet lol. ik noctua will cool better, but im not willing to sacrifice noise (pc part picker says noctua would be 5db louder on the low end). coming from a laptop that sounds like a jet taking off, i just want peace and quiet. unless u mean case fans? replace the nzxt ones maybe? that could actually be a good idea

        Yeah! Those are also great. If you want ultra quiet, definitely replace the case fans. 32GB if ram is honestly plenty if you’re just gaming, so the only other place you could spend $100 is going to be to try and snag an on-sale upgrade for the GPU or CPU.

          how many case fans should i have? the case supports
          Front:2 x 120mm / 2 x 140mm
          Top:1 x 120mm / 1 x 140mm
          Rear:1 x 120mm
          according to NZXT’s website. I plan to put 140mm where i can as theyll be quieter at the same cfm

            At least 2, preferably 4. Have one blowing cool air at the GPU and another pulling hot air out the top or back of the case.

              im getting the h5 flow, so im thinking 2 front, one rear, one top? it supports 2 front, 2 top, 1 rear, one bottom. it says the bottom one is angled for gpu but im switching it out anyways
