Building PC around a Ryzen 7 5800x3d

    A year ago I purchased a Ryzen 7 5800x3d and a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 CPU cooler to put into my current system but I never got around to installing them.

    Now I need to get a second PC capable of gaming. Games played on both would be Arma 3, Arma Reforger, Hearts of Iron, Red Dead Redemption.

    Initially I was just going to put the 5800x3d into my current build and buy a new secondary PC built around a 5700x3d, temporarily use my old RX 580 in the secondary PC and wait until the new AMD graphics cards are launched to upgrade it.

    But it doesn't make sense to me to buy new components for what will be the less powerful system.

    So my current plan is to build a new system around the 5800x3d. I would move my RX 6700xt into it.

    An added requirement for this system is Wifi. I know this isn't ideal but that's my situation.

    I put together these parts on Amazon UK, any advice would be appreciated.

    Case: Corsair 4000d Airflow - €100

    CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x3d - Owned

    Motherboard: Need suggestions with WiFI in mind. Budget €150

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200MHz CL16 - €37

    GPU: Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX6700XT 12GB - Owned

    PSU: Corsair RM850e - €128

    SSD: 2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVME M.2 - €192

    Monitor: Need suggestions - 27 Inch - Budget €300

    Have a bit of leeway on the prices of these components.

    Thank you

    Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE AX has WiFi 6E.

    Get 32GB RAM.
    Go cheap on SSD for a gaming machine.
    Case recommendation is Lian Li A3-mATX which is a lovely small-medium case with huge internal size.
    Pairing with Corsair SF850L for easier building.
    Monitor: MSI MAG 274QRFW which seems alright spec-wise.

    Total cost: ~800eur

    Thanks for the advice, greatly appreciated, especially the savings on the SSD.

    However I would prefer to use a larger case(should have said this in my op).

    I've swapped out the case and PSU for the ones in my op, open to recommendations if there are better alternatives.

    Any suggestions for an ATX form factor Wi-Fi 6e motherboard?

    Saw this monitor from Dell which is appears to be the exact same monitor but a few quid cheaper from the MSI one.

    The 4000D is very hard to beat on price. Fractal Design Focus 2 are cheaper for some models but you are into choose your own poison at that point.
