Hey everyone! I'm venturing into the world of PC building and have put together a system for about €1350. Here's what I've got: an RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of RAM and a Ryzen 7 7700 CPU. I'm looking for your thoughts on whether this is a solid configuration or if there's something I should tweak. Are any of the components overpriced? And am I making a wise choice with the CPU, or would it be better to go for a 9600X or 7500F instead? Here's my build breakdown:
- Silentware Air 1000 ARGB Mesh (€110)
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (€200)
- Noctua NH-U12S (€103)
- MSI PRO B850-P WiFi (€195)
- 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz Kingston Fury Beast CL30 (€113)
- 1TB Lexar NM790 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe (€81)
- Gainward RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Python III OC (€440)
- be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 750W, ATX 3.0 (€115)
For context, I'm not planning on overclocking and mostly play online games like Dota 2, Deadlock, CS:GO, Valorant, along with some AAA titles and general tasks. Thanks in advance for your input!

Honestly, the cooler seems a bit pricey. You might want to look for a more budget-friendly option that still performs decently. It could free up some cash for upgrading other components like your GPU for better gaming performance.
What country are you in? Your budget looks a bit steep for a Ryzen 7 7700 and 5060 Ti combo. You could definitely make some adjustments to enhance your GPU performance instead. Also, if you’re considering having it assembled, a prebuilt option with better quality parts could be a smart move. Let me know if you want help with a balanced build!
I’m in Germany, and my budget is around €1300. I originally looked into a local builder that quoted me about €1300 for this configuration, but I ended up upgrading some parts, pushing the total closer to €1450. If you have suggestions for a better build, I’d love to hear them!
