I'm a newbie at building PCs and recently assembled what I believe is a low-end setup. I want to make sure I haven't made any serious errors and if it will work well with the monitor I selected. Here's what I've got:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600
- **GPU:** Nvidia RTX 5060 8 GB
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX
- **RAM:** Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB DDR5-5600
- **SSD:** Kingston NV3 1TB
- **PSU:** be quiet! System Power 11 650W
- **Case:** DeepCool CG560 MESH V2
- **Monitor:** AOC CQ32G4VE (32 inch, 180Hz, 1440p Quad HD curved)
I'm particularly interested in playing games like modded Minecraft with shaders, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Rainbow Six Siege. I'd appreciate any feedback on my build, especially regarding potential mistakes or whether it can handle these games well. My budget is around €1100, including the monitor and I'm located in Europe.

Honestly, the RTX 5060 isn't the best choice for 1440p gaming. You might struggle with performance, especially with the VRAM limits. I suggest looking into the 9060 XT with 16 GB instead—it provides a much better experience for the price!
While your build is solid overall, keep in mind that the 32" monitor might not be the sharpest at 1440p; I usually prefer a 27" for better pixel density. You could lower settings in games, but still, consider the 9060 XT for more power.
Thanks for the tip!
The 5060 is showing up around €50 more expensive on most sites. Is the performance of the 9060 XT significantly better?
