I'm considering a personal gaming PC build and would love your feedback. Here are the specs I've chosen:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (8 cores, 16 threads)
- Cooler: 1stPlayer Thunderstorm TS1 360 ARGB (AIO Liquid Cooler)
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-P (AM5, Micro-ATX)
- GPU: Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti WINDFORCE OC, 16GB GDDR7, 128-bit
- RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30
- SSD: Kingston NV3 1TB NVMe M.2
- Case: Montech AIR 903 Max, ATX, Tempered Glass
- PSU: 750W 80+ Gold Certified
My budget is around 1300€ but I'm wondering if this build is optimal for gaming or if there are parts I should consider changing. Any suggestions?

If you're targeting 1080p at high framerates, this setup should work fine. But if you're looking to play more graphics-heavy games or at higher resolutions, I'd suggest investing in a more powerful GPU. I’m currently running an RX 9070 with a Ryzen 7 7700X at 1440p, and it’s more than enough for what I need.
Your build looks solid, but for better gaming experience at that budget, have you thought about swapping the GPU for an RX 9070 and the CPU to a 7600X? It might bump the price by around 100€, but it's worth it if you're planning to play more demanding titles. Keeps you future-proofed!
I'm considering switching to this RX 9070 setup myself, even though I prioritize 1080p for competitive Warzone gameplay. Gotta keep that 180Hz monitor fed with good FPS. Thanks for the suggestion!
The Kingston NV3 SSD might not be the best choice since it uses QLC flash, which can be less durable and slower over time. Consider upgrading to a TLC flash SSD like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or a WD Blue SN580 for better performance and longevity.
I’m planning to wait for Black Friday to see if I can snag a deal on that!
