I'm gearing up to build my very first PC and I've got my parts all lined up. Here's what I'm planning:
- **GPU**: Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Master 8GB GDDR6
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (6C/12T @ 3.6GHz) AM4
- **Motherboard**: ASRock B550M-HDV
- **PSU**: Gigabyte GP-P650G 650W
- **Case**: Antec CX200M RGB Elite Black Gaming Micro ATX
- **SSD**: Silicon Power P34A80 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3
- **RAM**: Team T-Force Delta RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz
The whole setup is costing me around $900 AUD, and I aim to play games like Fortnite and Destiny 2, targeting 120+ FPS at 1440p. Plus, I've got a Logitech G512 Carbon keyboard and G203 Lightsync mouse, paired with a Phillips 27" 144Hz 1440p monitor. Are there any bottlenecks or important tips I should consider before finalizing my build?

You might want to think about upgrading the GPU. An 8GB card like the 3060 Ti could actually hold you back if you're playing newer titles at those settings. It's worth checking out options like the Intel Arc B580, which has 12GB of VRAM and might be cheaper than the 3060 Ti right now. Just something to consider!
What kind of card do you think would be a good alternative then?
