I just built my first PC with a Ryzen 7600X CPU, a 7600XT 16GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD powered by an MSI MAG 650W Gold modular PSU. I'm wondering if this setup can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly or if I should consider some alternatives instead.

The 7600X uses 105W, and the 9600X is only 65W. With the 9600X running around $185 on Amazon, it’s a bit cheaper and performs about 7-10% better. Just something to think about!
It'll work, but honestly, I'm not a fan of the game myself! If you're open to ideas, consider switching to a Ryzen 5 7600 (the non-X version comes with its own cooler) and using the money saved to upgrade to a RTX 5060 Ti. It’s much faster, providing around 55 fps with ray tracing, compared to about 25 fps on the 7600XT. Just my two cents, though!
That’s a solid suggestion! The 5060 Ti seems to be a better fit for Cyberpunk if you want to enable ray tracing.
I've been thinking about switching my GPU to NVIDIA instead of sticking with the 7600XT! Just weighing options here.
Yeah, your setup should be able to run Cyberpunk 2077! If you're in the US, I noticed that the Ryzen 9600X is selling for about $185, while the 7600X is above $200. Just keep an eye on performance costs if you're thinking of upgrades later!
Absolutely, it can run Cyberpunk. You might want to check out some YouTube videos showing the 7600 XT gameplay in Cyberpunk to see how it performs. But be prepared for varied frame rates depending on your settings!
Interesting! But remember, the 9600X's 65W is just its default limit. If you want it to perform better, it can be pushed to 105W too.
