I'm looking to build a new PC and have a strict budget of $1200. Here's what I've come up with so far:
- **Processor (CPU)**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (6 Cores/12 Threads, up to 5.3GHz)
- **Graphics Card (GPU)**: RTX 4060 Ti 16GB
- **Motherboard**: MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI (AM5 Socket, DDR5, Wi-Fi 6E)
- **Memory (RAM)**: G.Skill Flare X5 16GB (2x8GB) 6000MHz CL36 DDR5 (AMD EXPO Profile)
- **Storage (SSD)**: Western Digital Blue SN580 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4
- **Power Supply (PSU)**: Deepcool PM750D 750W 80+ Gold
- **Monitor**: Acer Nitro VG271U M3 27-inch (1440p, IPS, 180Hz refresh rate)
- **CPU Cooler**: Deepcool AK400
- **Cabinet (Case)**: Ant Esports ICE-112
I'd appreciate any feedback on this setup! Also, is it worth it to go for the non-X version of the CPU and use the stock cooler? I do machine learning robotics and some game development with Unreal Engine. Just a heads up, I'm located in India!

Your build looks pretty solid overall! The 7600X can run hot, so I recommend investing in an aftermarket cooler. If you can find the 9600X for a similar price, it uses less power and could be a better choice, especially if you want to stick with the stock cooler. Also, keep an eye on prices for newer cards like the RTX 5060; if it's close in cost to the 4060 Ti, it might offer better performance. Happy building!
This build kinda feels like it was generated based on past trends, but you've got the right components listed. The Deepcool AK400 isn't bad, but I’d suggest a dual-tower cooler for the 7600X for better performance. If you do choose the Ryzen 9600X, the AK400 should be fine. Also, the 4060 Ti might be tough to find due to it being discontinued; consider the 5060 Ti when looking for a GPU. Check for B650E motherboards as well; they might offer better future-proofing for a similar price. And don’t forget about power supplies—make sure it's ATX3 compliant! Good luck!
