I'm planning to build a PC primarily for basic 1080p gaming and some multitasking. I've spent time balancing price and performance for the parts, and I'm looking for your thoughts on my choices. Here's my build:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (3.8 GHz, 6-Core)
- CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE (66.17 CFM)
- Thermal Paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (1 g)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI (Micro ATX AM5)
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- Storage: Crucial P310 1 TB M.2 NVME SSD
- GPU: MSI GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5060 (8 GB)
- Case: Deepcool CC360 ARGB MicroATX Mini Tower
- Power Supply: Thermalright TG 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular
I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions for other parts. Thanks a lot!

Your parts look good! I think the 5060 is a decent choice, but just double-check if you can afford the 5060ti with 16GB; it might be worth the extra investment for better performance. Overall, this build should handle 1080p great!
This setup will definitely work for your needs! While I would recommend considering a GPU with 16GB if your budget allows, the 8GB model will still be fine for now. Also, you might not need that super high-end thermal paste; just a good quality one should do the trick.
I'm leaning towards staying within my budget, but I'll think about saving up for a better GPU if I need to. Thanks for the tip!
Overall, this build is solid for 1080p gaming. Just keep in mind that if you ever decide to upgrade to a 1440p monitor, you might need to swap out your GPU. Also, it could save you some cash if you use the cooler that comes with your CPU, but if you're going aftermarket, it’s worth getting something a little beefier without a stock cooler. Just make sure you're happy with that cooler!
Thanks for the advice! I've heard the stock cooler isn't ideal for heavy use, so I’ll likely go with an aftermarket one for safety.
Good point! If I stick with Nvidia, I'd have to jump from the 5060 to the 5060ti, which is quite a price leap. I’ll consider it later!
