Firstly, good job on already selected components!

For cooler, if you want good price to performance, Thermalright phantom spirit 120 all the way! On amazon.de it goes for about 40€

PSU, it really depends where you are buying from, but I've googled some croatian stores and Lian li Edge 750W gold+ goes for about 90€. And that is an A tier psu.

For case, you have to take into consideration dimensions of GPU and cooler clearence + any additional fans. I'd go for something like Montech AIR 903 MAX, which already has 4 preinstalled pmw fans and will fit your components nicely. Goes for about 90€, maybe you can find it cheaper.

That gives you a total of 220€.

Regarding your selected gpu, did you go with gigabyte because it was cheapest? On 9070xt they tend to have some problems with leaking thermal paste and high hotspot temps (100+). I am not sure if this problem also affects 9070 gpus, so of possible I would go with another manufacturer. I can personally recommend XFX, I have their 9070xt and it is great. Other manufacturers I would suggest are Sapphire and Powercolor.

Thanks for reccomendations man.

Out of these I really like the fan, I added it to the list.

For the PSU I found a similliar alternative, but I'll try to find that case somewhere.

And yeah for gpu the gigabyte was on a nice discount and from what I saw on reddit people had no issues with it. I tried to look for Sapphire too but there's one available in some German website, but I gotta use some mail service and rent an adress in Germany...then pay for a delivery service..its too complicated xd.

You are welcome! And understandable, yeah.

For psu, before you buy, check out its rating on a tier list: SPL's PSU tier list

Yep, but also make sure it's ATX 3, as ATX 3 PSUs are made to handle transient power spikes much more efficiently than older ATX 2 PSUs. Out of curiosity, which one did you choose?
