I'm planning to build a PC that can handle most games at 1440p with high to ultra settings, and my budget is around €1300. Here's what I'm considering for my build:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor (€189.00)
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler (€44.00)
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard (€146.00)
- **Memory:** G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory (€182.00)
- **Storage:** Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (€120.00)
- **Video Card:** Asus GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Dual OC (€436.00)
- **Case:** NZXT H5 Flow (2024) ATX Mid Tower Case (€91.00)
- **Power Supply:** MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (€87.00)
Total cost is €1295. Additionally, I'm also thinking about upgrading to the RX 9060 XT 16GB, which costs an extra €80. Is that worth it? I'm also aiming for a solid 60fps for gaming.

For 1440p gaming at high or ultra settings, I think you'd be better off with at least an RX 9070 or RTX 5070. They might be pricier, but they'll give you a better FPS depending on the games you play.
I noticed you mentioned the RX 9060 XT, but isn't that a typo? The 5060 might suit your needs, but realize you'll probably need some upscaling to maintain good framerates on ultra settings.
Your build looks solid, but you might want to consider a 2TB SSD instead of the 1TB Samsung 990 Pro for a similar price. More storage is always helpful for games!
Yeah, I meant the 9060 XT originally, thanks for pointing that out!
