Hey everyone! I'm thinking of building a PC and I've got a budget of $2,000. Here's my parts list:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
- CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
- Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 ATX AM5
- Memory: Mushkin Redline ST 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6400
- Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB NVME SSD
- Video Card: XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
- Case: Phanteks XT PRO ATX Mid Tower
- Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL 850 W
- Case Fan: Noctua NF-A12x25
- Monitor: Gigabyte M27Q 27" 2560 x 1440 170 Hz
The total comes out to around $1,895.69. What do you all think? Is this a good build for the price?

I think you could really boost performance by swapping out the GPU. The RX 9060 XT is decent but there are better options for 1440p. Here’s a list I put together that might help you out: [New Build List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KT9xJn). You could also find ways to shave off some costs to fit your needs!
Yeah, if you're looking for gaming at 1440p, getting a stronger GPU would definitely make a difference.
