I'm new to building PCs and I'm looking to see if the parts I've chosen are reasonable for a 1440p gaming setup. Here's what I've got:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor
- CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36 A-RGB
- Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM5
- Storage: WD Black SN770 1 TB NVME SSD
- Video Card: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
- Case: Lian Li Lancool 207 ATX Mid Tower
- Power Supply: MSI MAG A750GL 750W 80+ Gold Fully Modular
If these parts aren't the best choice, I'm open to suggestions!

For rasterization, that GPU is great but it's a bit entry-level for modern ray tracing. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the RX 9060 XT will give you better performance in RT enabled games. Overall, you should be set for 1440p without ray tracing, though!
If your budget allows, skip the RX 7600 XT and aim for the RX 7700 XT or the RX 9060 XT. Those offers much better performance at 1440p. Just make sure your overall budget can handle it!
Could you clarify if there are more options within your budget? The RX 7600 XT and similar cards are tough recommendations now. You might find better performance in the RX 7800 XT or 6800 XT instead, especially considering the 9060 XT is available, too.
Your component list looks solid for 1440p! Just check the prices on the RX 9060 XT since it can vary a lot. Also, consider going for a Ryzen 7 for slightly better performance if you can find it on sale. RAM could be upgraded to CL30 6000MHz to maximize performance. Don’t forget to share your PC part picker link next time!
