I'm putting together a new gaming PC and already have a barely used XFX Speedster RX 7900 XT that my family gave me, so I only need the rest of the components. My total budget is about $1,300, and that also needs to include a basic 24-inch monitor. I play a wide range of games, with Monster Hunter Wilds probably being the most demanding. I'm located in Mexico, so parts that are reasonably available there would be ideal. What CPU, motherboard, memory, storage, power supply, case, and monitor would pair well with this graphics card?

A balanced build around that GPU should fit your budget if you focus on value-oriented parts. Look for a modern six- or eight-core gaming CPU, a compatible B-series motherboard, 32 GB of DDR5 memory, a 1 TB NVMe SSD, and a reliable 750–850 W power supply. Put the remaining money toward a simple 24-inch 1080p or 1440p monitor, depending on local prices. Since you’re in Mexico, compare several local retailers and adjust the parts list based on availability and shipping costs. The RX 7900 XT is powerful enough that the rest of the system should prioritize a solid CPU and quality power supply rather than expensive extras.
Thanks! That gives me a good starting point and is exactly the kind of parts breakdown I needed.
