I just updated my first PC build and I'm wondering how it stacks up for gaming. I'm planning to use it for games like GTA 5, Roblox, Minecraft, and the upcoming GTA 6 and Battlefield 6. Do you think this setup is powerful enough to handle those games? What kind of FPS and graphics quality can I expect at different resolutions? Also, I plan to use a PlayStation controller—will it connect without issues? If there are any components in my build that I should change or avoid, let me know!

Your build looks solid for what you're aiming to play! At 1080p, you should be getting good performance; 1440p should also be playable, though you'll want to tweak some settings for the latest titles. For the PS controller, it connects just fine via Bluetooth. Keep in mind, some games might still default to Xbox controller prompts, but support for PS controllers has definitely improved lately.
If you're looking to tweak your build, consider switching the CPU cooler out. The one you chose is fine, but there are budget options that could save you a few bucks. Just know that investing in a better cooler can help if you plan to overclock in the future.
Thanks for the insights! I'll think about that cooler change. What about the RAM? Is it okay to stick with what I have, or should I look for something faster?
