I'm looking to upgrade my old office PC which only has integrated graphics. I'm planning to play games like War Thunder, Enlisted, and Helldivers 2. Do you think the RTX 5060 Ti with a Ryzen 7 9700X is a good combination for my needs?

What resolution are you looking to play at, and what kind of FPS do you want? Knowing that can help gauge performance expectations.
Saving a bit more for the 5070 instead of the 5060 Ti could be worth it. The performance difference is noticeable, especially with newer titles coming out.
This is a reasonable setup. Sure, you could save some cash with a 6-core processor, but the 8-core 9700X will likely serve you better in the long run as games start utilizing more cores.
Honestly, the setup is perfectly fine! You won’t have issues with most modern CPUs for gaming at the level of the RTX 5060 Ti—it's not top-of-the-line but good enough for your games.
The 5060 Ti is actually a pretty solid GPU. It’s powerful and efficient, so you can expect it to run cool and quietly, which is nice for an office setup.
While the 9700X is a great processor, if you haven't bought it yet, consider going for a 7600X and a 5070 instead. They might fit your budget better and offer similar performance. Just a thought!
Thanks for the suggestion!
