I'm building my first PC and my dad gave me a budget of $1,100. Here's the list of parts I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f6pcLc. I only need 16GB of RAM for my use. However, I'm worried about whether everything will fit in the case I chose and if the power supply is reliable since it's from a brand I'm not familiar with. If you have any upgrade suggestions that stay within my budget, I'd really appreciate them!

If you're open to either Intel or AMD, I’d lean toward AMD for your budget. A Ryzen 5 7500F with a B650 board should work well. Plus, DDR5 RAM is now pretty affordable, so you won’t have to shell out much more. As for the GPU, the 9060 XT 16GB is a great buy at around $500 compared to the 5060 Ti. You'll save money and get better performance!
I’m open to AMD! Will the 9060 XT run as well as a 5060 Ti or is that a drop in quality? And do you have any monitor recommendations? I want at least 120Hz and 2K resolution. By the way, what's the difference between my current B760 motherboard and the B650 you suggested?
