I'm putting together a build for 1080p gaming and wanted to get some opinions on my specs. Here's what I'm planning to use:
- CPU: Ryzen 7500F
- GPU: RTX 5060 8GB
- Motherboard: B650m
- RAM: DDR5 2x8 (I considered getting 32GB, but prices are really high right now)
- PSU: 650W
Do you think I should go for a different GPU like the 9060 XT instead of the 5060, or is that overkill for 1080p gaming? Are there any other important factors I should keep in mind?

You might find it beneficial to upgrade to the 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM. It could give you a little more future-proofing for games coming down the line. Plus, the price difference isn’t too huge if you're looking to invest for the long term.
I checked, and it’s only about 50-70 bucks more than the 5060. If you can swing it, I’d say go for the extra VRAM!
