Hey everyone, I'm gearing up to build my first PC and I've put together a list of parts. I'm looking for feedback and any suggestions on improvements. I want to create a sleek white RGB micro ATX setup primarily for video editing, gaming, and work. I currently enjoy games like Minecraft and Roblox, but I'm looking for a build that can handle more demanding titles in the future. Ideally, I want to run games on high settings at 1440p with 150-200 fps. I'm considering a monitor with a refresh rate of 144-165 Hz at 1440p, preferably with built-in speakers. Longevity is key for me, so I hope to have this PC for at least four years. My budget is around $1,000-$1,100, and I've totaled the parts to $1,098 from Amazon and Newegg. Any tips for building or things to keep in mind afterward would be greatly appreciated! 🙂 Here's my list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rMmN4p

Why did you choose that GPU instead of the 9060 XT? I hear that's a better option.
I've heard of the 9060 XT but I'm not so familiar with it. Do you think I should switch to that one?
The 6750 XT is getting a bit dated. The 9060 XT 16GB is usually a better choice. Also, are you sure you need the SATA drive? A 990 Pro might be overkill; good 2TB drives are available for less! Western Digital and Micron/Crucial are safe bets—check out the T500 for a great deal if it’s around $120-130.
Skip the SATA SSD altogether! A 2TB Patriot VP4300 Lite SSD is a solid pick for around $100 instead of the Samsung. Also, make sure your RAM isn’t blocked by the front fan on the case. Low-profile RAM without RGB might be better. And definitely consider switching to a 16GB 9060 XT since the 6750 XT might not support FSR4. Don’t forget, a white power supply would look cooler with your setup!
Do you know which brand to go for? How are Asrock and Sapphire Pulse for the 9060 XT?
