I'm putting together my first PC build and it's costing me about $1800. Here's what I have so far: an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor, a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler, an ASUS TUF GAMING B650E-E WIFI motherboard, 32GB of Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 RAM, a Sapphire PURE RX 9060 XT 16GB graphics card, a GOODRAM PX700 1TB NVMe SSD, and I'm using an MSI MAG A750GL PCIe5 II 750W Gold power supply. I'm also using a Lian Li LANCOOL 207 case. Any feedback or suggestions? Thanks!

That looks like a solid build for your first PC! Just curious, how did you end up with that total of $1800? Sounds like you're pricing it based on local market rates.
You might want to share the specific prices for each component to get better advice. If you're into 1440p gaming, I’d suggest switching to an AMD Ryzen 7 7600X for improved performance and then maybe look at the 9070XT for your GPU. You could potentially save some money by opting for slightly cheaper RAM as well. Just my two cents!
I checked, and the price difference between the CPUs is around $39. The GPU difference is about $250. $1800 is my absolute max budget, so I need to keep it that way!
The price breakdown you provided is really helpful! If you're trying to maximize your build within that budget, staying aware of local prices is crucial.
I'm based in Poland, so those are the prices here!
