I'm putting together a new PC and would love your thoughts on my current build. Here's the setup:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI ATX AM4
- **RAM**: Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200
- **Storage**: ADATA Legend 710 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME
- **GPU**: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
- **Case**: Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
The SSD is from my old PC and I'm planning to upgrade it later. I feel like the cooler is overkill for this CPU; any cheaper alternatives? I'm also a bit lost when it comes to the power supply and I need something affordable since I'm already out of budget.

Your build looks solid! You should be able to run most games on 1080P at ultra settings without any issues. For 1440P, you might want to enable FSR and frame generation in demanding games like Cyberpunk. And don’t forget to enable EXPO and REBAR in the BIOS if it's your first build!
What about power supply? Any suggestions?
