So, I am planning on building a pc for the first time.. since my current pc is about 8 years old.

These are the parts I am planning on getting:

NZXT h500i
Asus GeForce ROG Strix RTX 2060 Advanced 6G
Asus ROG STRIX B450-F
cheap sata III ssd w/ 500gb
Ryzen 5 2600
16GB (x2 8gb) DDR4 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro
Be quiet! 600W power 9 80+ bronze PSU
NZXT KRAKEN X62 V2

Got 2tb HDD on my current pc, which I'll move to new pc.

Do I need anything else for my new pc and can I fit all of these inside NZXT h500i? (with such a big graphics card)

Budget is about 1,350€ (+- 70€) euros (1,500$)

I'd stay away from Asus rtx cards, they've had problems. Go for MSI ventus, evga xc (not the black one), or gigabyte windforce.
I'd get a board with wifi/bluetooth, but that's just me. Msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac is barely more expensive, but worth it IMO.
Get an nvme ssd. It's barely more expensive and noticeably faster.
You dont need a 600w psu. A 500w would be fine. IMO Corsair > Seasonic >EVGA > rest for brands.
Also 2060s are not big graphics cards lol, dont let the pictures fool you.
And yes it will all fit

I heard the rtx problems were mostly in 2070 and 2080 versions and have since been fixed.. but what do I know :p
msi and gigabyte seem to be a little cheaper and there seem to be only black evga xc cards in my country.
Board with wifi is 100€ more expensive and I dont really need it that much to pay extra 100€.
I might get nvme ssd, havent decided yet.. since the SATA III is 70€ while nvme is 130€+

Thanks, I'll take a look at these cards more and think about the nvme ssd.

I live in Finland.
I suppose I could search other countries too.

Btw, do you know any other liquid coolers other than nzxt kraken that is cheaper, looks nice and good quality?

Corsair and evga make good ones, but liquid cooling is way overkill for your setup. The stock cooler is fine for a mild to medium overclock; as long as your case has decent airflow, you'll probably be limited by silicon before thermals.
Also a more generic list so you dont have availability issues: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JZyL8Y

asus ROG strix gpu is the way to go :D #1 gpu brand imo and best thermals iirc

u can get a rog strix aio cooler aswell, but i'd just go with an air cooler tbh

nice build btw, would probably change cheap sata ssd to nvme aswell

Thanks!
Only reason I want liquid cooler is for the looks mainly.. :P but I can get that later on, so I can use stock cooler for now.
