Hey everyone! I'm putting together a parts list for a gaming PC for my friend who currently has an older prebuilt setup. She has 8GB of RAM, a GTX 1650, and a Ryzen 3 5300G. She's eager to play games like Cyberpunk 2077, Detroit Become Human, and Marvel Rivals, but her current rig just can't handle those titles. Her budget is around £1000. I'd appreciate any feedback on my proposed parts list to see if it's a solid upgrade! Here's the breakdown:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB DDR5-5200
- **Storage**: Western Digital Blue SN580 1 TB NVME and Kingston NV3 1 TB NVME
- **Video Card**: MSI VENTUS 2X BLACK OC GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
- **Case**: KOLINK Observatory MX Mesh
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A650BN 650W
Total cost: £981.68. I've linked the full list for reference! Thanks for your help!

Your parts list looks pretty solid! The Ryzen 5 7600X is a good choice, though it's worth noting that while it only has 6 cores, it should handle games like Cyberpunk at high settings just fine. The 4060 Ti is decent too, but you might want to shop around for a better value GPU with more VRAM. Overall, with this setup, she'll definitely see a significant performance boost! If you want suggestions for potentially better CPU/GPU combos, just let me know!
Thanks for the insights! I appreciate your offer for suggestions, I’d love to hear what you have in mind!
