I'm planning my first PC build and I'm a bit unsure if all the parts I'm selecting will work well together. Here's what I've got:
- **CPU**: Ryzen 5 5600x
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **GPU**: 5060TI 16GB
- **Motherboard**: ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus WiFi 2
- **RAM**: 16GB 3200MHz DDR4
- **PSU**: Corsair RM650e
- **SSD**: WD Blue SN5000 1TB
- **Case**: Montech X3 Mesh
- **OS**: Windows 11 Pro
If I'm missing anything, or if you have any tips for building, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks a lot!

1. Before you go further, check the price difference between the 5700/5800 and the 5600X; it might be worth considering.
2. The RX 9060 XT 16GB could be a better deal than the 5060 TI if you're looking for similar performance for less money. If you need DLSS or ray tracing for productivity, stick with the RTX 5060 though.
3. Consider the MSI B550M PRO VDH WiFi motherboard instead. It might offer better features.
Thanks for the tips! I'm still unsure if the 5800X is worth it. Do you think the 9060 XT really offers better performance than the 5060 TI? I want something that will last a while, but if they perform similarly, I might just save a bit. Could you explain why the B550M is a better choice?
