I'm looking for feedback on my first PC build that I've put together. Here are the parts I've chosen: an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU, a Thermalright CPU cooler, and an ASRock motherboard, among others. My total comes to about $1920.77. I plan to use it mainly for gaming on two 27-inch 1440p monitors aiming for 120+ FPS. Any thoughts on my selections?

First off, what games are you planning to run? If it's mainly gaming, your GPU choice looks solid. Make sure to consider if you need mATX – any specific space requirements? Also, do you have a Micro Center nearby? They're great for deals!
Hey, I'd suggest you clarify what your build is primarily for, as mentioned before. Your GPU is fantastic, but if you're looking to boost performance, consider upgrading the CPU a bit. 32GB of RAM is definitely a good call. Don't forget to share some pics when you assemble everything!
Thanks for the tips! Just curious, do you have any deals coming up?
I would recommend swapping the CPU cooler for a single radiator option to save some cash. Also, consider switching out the SSD – the UD90 now uses cheaper QLC flash, which might not be as reliable in the long run.
I actually think the Phantom Spirit cooler is the way to go! It has great performance from what I’ve heard.
I'll mostly be gaming on this rig. I play titles like Baldur's Gate and Battlefield 6 at 1440p with high refresh rates. I'm opting for mATX for size reasons as well.
