I'm building my first PC and would love some feedback on my parts list. I'm planning to use Linux, so there's no compatibility with iOS. Here's my PCPartPicker list:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
- **Motherboard**: ASRock B850 Pro-A ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: Silicon Power P34A60 512 GB NVME SSD and Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB HDD
- **Video Card**: XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Core Radeon RX 7600
- **Case**: Corsair 3000D AIRFLOW ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM650e 650 W Fully Modular
- **Case Fan**: Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM
- **Monitor**: LG UltraGear 24G411A-B 24.0" 144 Hz
- **Keyboard**: HP HyperX Alloy Origins Core RGB
- **Mouse**: Logitech G203 Wired Optical
- **Headphones**: Corsair HS65 SURROUND
- **Webcam**: Green Extreme T200
Total cost comes to about $1659.48. Are there any components you think I should change or improve? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Your build looks solid overall! However, I suggest upgrading that GPU to something like the RX 9060 XT, as the RX 7600 might not hold up in 2026. Also, you could go for cheaper case fans instead of the Noctua ones; they’re great, but pricey. Save that cash for a better GPU!
You could also swap your case for a Montech XR, which is cheaper and still provides great performance. That way, you'd save enough to upgrade the GPU. Plus, Montech cases typically come with fans!
