I'm really excited to share that I've finally decided on my first gaming PC build! I'm working with a budget and here are the specs I've chosen:
- Antec AX20 Elite Mid Tower Gaming Case with high-airflow front panel
- ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB Prime OC Graphics Card
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core 3.9GHz processor (boosts up to 5.4GHz)
- MSI B650M GAMING WIFI Desktop Motherboard
- 650W MSI MAG A650BN Power Supply
- T-CREATE EXPERT 32GB DDR5 RAM (2x16GB) at 6000MHz
- TeamGroup MP33 1TB M.2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD
- DeepCool AG300 CPU Air Cooler
I found the best prices possible in my country. Are there any potential bottlenecks or compatibility issues I should be aware of? My focus is gaming at 1440p, mainly with medium to high settings, and ideally aiming for around 60fps in story-driven games.

What games are you planning to play? Also, what frame rate and resolution are you aiming for?
Make sure to get a 6000MHz CL30 RAM kit instead of CL38 for better performance!
If you're looking to save a bit, you might want to consider the AMD 7600X or 7500F. Their performance is pretty close to the 9600X, and sometimes they’re cheaper!
Actually, the 9600X is cheaper for me in my country than those options.
I'm mainly into story games at 1440p, and I hope to hit a steady 60fps.
