I'm putting together my first PC and would love some advice from experienced builders. I'm working with some limitations based on what's available locally, but here's the part list I've come up with:
| Component | Name | Price |
|:-|:-|:-|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, Tray | $185 |
| GPU | GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9060 XT GAMING OC 16G | $589 |
| Motherboard | GIGABYTE B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI | $185 |
| PSU | Chieftec Polaris PPS-650FC 80+ Gold | $112 |
| CPU Cooler | be quiet! Pure Rock 3, Black | $39 |
| RAM | Kingston FURY Beast, KF560C30BBEK2-32 | $161 |
| Storage | Kingston NV3, SNV3S/2000G | $172 |
| Case | Deepcool CC560 Limited V2, Black | $38 |
| Fans | Arctic P12 Silent x 6 | $49 |
| TOTAL | | $1530 |
Additionally, I'm considering spending an extra $69 for an RTX 5060 Ti 16G. What do you think?

Overall, your list looks decent for a first build! However, given the price of your CPU, I’d recommend looking into a 9000 series AMD chip if you can find it within your budget. It might give you better performance for similar costs.
Just curious, which country are you in? That could help to better assess the pricing of the components.
If you can swing the extra $69 for the RTX 5060 Ti 16G, I’d say go for it! It’ll definitely help future-proof your build for gaming.
I'm in Moldova, and these prices are from local tech stores!
