I'm looking to build a PC and I've put together this part list with the help of AI, but I'm not really sure if it's good. Here's what I'm considering:
* **GPU:** RX 7600XT
* **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 8400F
* **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B650I AX Motherboard
* **RAM:** DDR5 2X16GB 6000MHz CL36
* **SSD:** Crucial P3 Plus 2TB PCIe Gen4
* **Case:** Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P MAX Mini ITX PC Case (comes with a 850W power supply)
* **Monitor:** KTC Gaming Monitor 4K 160Hz 27 Inch UHD - Fast IPS Panel 1ms
I want to game at least at 1440p, ideally 4K if possible, but I'm not overly concerned about high FPS since I mainly play single-player games. Any suggestions on making this build cheaper or general advice would be appreciated!

Definitely upgrade your CPU to something faster like the Ryzen 5 7500F or 7600. Also, consider getting a better GPU like the RX 9060 XT 16GB, especially if you're playing demanding games. Your case and PSU seem pricey compared to other options, so it might be worth shopping around. For RAM, CL30 is a better option at that price point.
With the RX 7600XT, don't expect super high FPS at 4K. A 27-inch monitor is better suited for 1440p, as going 4K on a smaller screen doesn't really give you much benefit. Also, consider swapping to a faster CPU like the Ryzen 5 7400F, 7500F, or 7600 instead of the 8400F. It's one of the slower options for AM5.
It's tough to say without knowing your budget, but your monitor choice seems a bit mismatched. A 4K monitor for your current GPU might not give you what you need, especially for fresh titles. A decent 1440p monitor with a 120-144Hz refresh rate would be more in line. You might save some cash or invest in better components with that.
I see what you mean. I was thinking it might future-proof me and be good for movies, but it might be overkill.
Thanks for the suggestion! I figured 4K sounded nice but 1440p seems like a better fit.
