Advice Needed for My New Gaming PC Build

Asked By CoolCat99 On

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some help with a new gaming PC build. I'm not super experienced with building PCs or choosing parts, so I would greatly appreciate any advice. My main goal is to use the PC for gaming, but I'm not going for anything too high-end. Ideally, I want to run games like Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil 4, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 at medium to high settings on a 1440p monitor.

I'm shopping online in the UK with a budget of around £1,200. I already have a case that I hope is big enough, but I can resell it if needed. I also have some hard drives and fans from my old PC that I plan to use.

I'm looking for something that will last a while, as I don't frequently play newly released or high-demand games, and I'm not concerned about how it looks. Here's my current list from PC Part Picker:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor (£169.50 @ Amazon UK)
- **CPU Cooler:** Noctua NH-D9L 46.44 CFM CPU Cooler (£49.95 @ Amazon UK)
- **Motherboard:** Asus PRIME B650-PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 (£119.99 @ Amazon UK)
- **Memory:** Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 (£119.95 @ Box Limited)
- **Storage:** Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME SSD (£159.00 @ Amazon UK)
- **Video Card:** Asus DUAL OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB (£382.94 @ CCL Computers)
- **Case:** Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower (£139.00 @ MoreCoCo)
- **Power Supply:** MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Fully Modular ATX (£89.95 @ AWD-IT)

If you could let me know if this build is suitable and compatible, I'd appreciate it. Also, I noticed the cooler requires a separate mounting adapter, so if there's a better motherboard option, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks a lot!

You might not need a cooler with a 92mm fan like the Noctua in that case—there’s plenty of room for something bigger and cheaper! A Thermalright Phantom Spirit could be a good option, and any cooler you buy now should come with AM5 mounting hardware, which makes things easier.

Sounds good, thank you for the advice.

Everything looks good, but I would suggest making a few changes to optimize your build! You can check out my recommendations here: [PC Part Picker Link](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dsKdLc).

Looks great, thank you! Can I ask why you switched the RAM?
