Hey everyone! I'm looking for some feedback on my planned PC build. Here's what I'm thinking:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM
- **Motherboard**: ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Micro ATX AM5
- **Memory**: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 1 TB M.2 NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
- **Case**: Phanteks XT PRO ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM650e 650 W Fully Modular
- **Case Fans**: ARCTIC P12 Max 120 mm
The total cost comes to about €1117.85. I was also considering the Corsair 3000D AIRFLOW case, which has two fans and is a bit smaller. What do you think? Are there any parts you'd recommend improving?

Swapping the ASRock motherboard for an X670 or X870 could be a solid move. Also, consider bumping your power supply to at least 850W. Honestly, I wouldn’t take the risk with a 650W for the 9060XT, even if it might work for now. Future-proofing is always smart. Do you have a budget cap in mind?
I’ve had good experiences with Phanteks cases too! My last build used a P500A, and my new one is in a Phanteks NV5 v2.
