I'm looking for feedback on my PC build that comes in at around $1200. Here are the specs:
- Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow
- Motherboard: ASRock B650M-H/M.2+
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- GPU: Intel Arc B580 12GB Limited Edition
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB)
- Power Supply: MSI Mag A650BN
- SSD: Kingston NV3 M.2 1TB
- CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Are there any components I should improve or replace?

I just built a similar system with a 9600X. My setup included the ASUS B650M-Gaming Wifi mobo, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 5060Ti GPU—all for about $1015. Trust me, you can save a lot by swapping out that pricey Noctua cooler. For a 65w TDP CPU like the 9600X, you really don’t need the NH-D15. Just make sure you're not overpaying for the B580 GPU; being patient might save you a good chunk!
Honestly, it looks a bit rough on price to performance. But I'd need to know what country you're in to give more tailored advice. Are you in the US? If so, do you live near a Microcenter?
