Thoughts on My New Build Around $1000?

Asked By TechWizard42 On

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I built a computer—about five or six years! I'm currently running an RX 5700 XT with a Ryzen 5 2600, but I've noticed it's been struggling with newer games due to a CPU bottleneck. I was initially planning to just upgrade my CPU, but when I realized I would need a new motherboard if I did that, I decided to go for a completely new build instead. I've done some research on compatibility and parts, but I'd love your feedback on any major issues or improvements I can make before I go ahead. Here's my build link: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PZbFNz). Thanks in advance!

A heads up—try to avoid an 8GB GPU in 2025. There are already games that struggle with that amount of VRAM, and it’s likely to be an even bigger issue later on. Check out this build I found that includes a much better GPU: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RDQQv4). For around $960, it features an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and a Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB VRAM, which should serve you much better!

The 9060 sounds fantastic. I just spotted a used 9600X for $100 on Facebook Marketplace. If it’s in good condition, should I grab that to save some cash or just go with the new 7600 and the RX 9060? Also, thanks! Your advice saved me $60 on the case!
