I'm buying my first computer and it comes with these components:
* **Processor:** Ryzen 5 7600X
* **Heatsink:** Deepcool LE300 120MM
* **Motherboard:** ASRock B850 USB Wifi
* **Video Card:** Palit RTX 5060 8GB
* **RAM:** Vcolor 16GB DDR5 5200MHz
* **Storage:** 1TB M.2 6000 MB/s
* **Power Supply:** 750W 80+ Bronze
I heard from another store that this setup might experience bottlenecks and suggested higher-end components, which are more expensive. Should I stick with my current build or consider their recommendations? Here's what they suggested:
* **AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Processor:** 4.7/5.3GHz, 32MB L3, 6-Core, AM5, 5NM, 105W
* **MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wi-Fi Motherboard:** AMD Ryzen AM5 DDR5
* **CPU Heatsink:** Deepcool AK620 Digital
* **RAM Memory:** XPG, 16GB 5600MHz Lancer Blade Black
* **M.2 SSD Solid Disk:** BXNM1350 1TB NVME PCIe 4.0 6000MB
* **Video Card:** ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 128Bit Dual OC
* **850W Power Supply:** Gigabyte GP-UD850GM 80 Plus Gold Full Modular

Your original build is solid, but maybe consider grabbing a 9060 XT 16GB if you find a good deal. It'll provide better performance and last you longer. Just don’t overlook the RAM; slightly faster RAM will help, but don’t go overboard thinking it's the main driving force for performance!
Honestly, I wouldn't stress about it too much. If you're building in 2025, an 8GB GPU might not be the best choice. Consider future-proofing with something like a 16GB GPU instead, like the 9060 XT if you can swing it.
The changes suggested by the other store would only get you about 0-1% more performance. The term 'bottleneck' doesn’t really apply here. The only thing I'd seriously recommend from your original parts would be to upgrade to a 2x16GB kit of RAM. Go for 6000 CL30 if you can afford it, otherwise CL36 is fine too. A better GPU would be nice, but I get that budgets are tight!
I don’t see any major bottlenecks with your setup. The recommended parts are very similar to yours. The most noticeable changes are the motherboard and heatsink, but those don't impact performance significantly. Stick with your setup, just make sure your SSD has a DRAM cache and check reviews for your PSU. If you can, upgrading to a 16GB version of the 5060 would be a good move.
Definitely look into slightly faster RAM like DDR5-6000 CL30 to CL36. Also, verify that your NVMe drive is TLC instead of QLC for better performance over time. That's what's really going to make the difference!
