I'm a rookie looking to build my first PC, and I've picked out some parts. Here's what I've chosen:
- Ryzen 7 7800xd3 CPU
- 9060xt Gigabyte GPU
- Gigabyte b650 eagle motherboard
- 32GB DDR5 RAM
- Zalman S2 mid-tower case
- 850W PSU (open to brand suggestions)
- 144Hz monitor
- 1TB SSD
Is this a good setup? I really need some guidance!

The CPU is pretty powerful for a first build, especially since the 9060xt GPU might not utilize all that power unless you're playing demanding strategy games. It's a good rule that your GPU should typically match or be about half your budget for best performance. Maybe consider a slightly less powerful CPU to balance things out?
With your budget of 1300 Euros, you can optimize your parts for better performance. For someone in Germany, I'd suggest checking this build on PCPartPicker: [https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Mr2Q4p]. It gives you a more balanced setup for gaming and keeps everything under budget!
