I've been saving up to build my dream gaming PC and I've finally set a budget of $1000. I already have my basic peripherals, but I'm looking to upgrade my monitor separately, so that's not included in the budget. I live in the Philippines, which makes it a bit tricky to find certain components online or in-store, although I do have some connections in the US for sourcing parts. If my budget increases later, I plan on upgrading some parts. I really need advice on whether all the components I've selected will fit together in my chosen case. A couple of things to note: I'm not interested in using an AMD GPU anymore due to issues I've had with drivers and optimization; I much prefer Nvidia. I'm also looking to keep a dark or black theme for the build, accented by some RGB lighting. If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Here's my part list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mFDQnp).

With your budget, you could use a Ryzen 9600X (around $200) along with a 5060 Ti or 9060 XT (around $400), which would leave you with a lot of room for other components. This combo should work well together!
The 9600X is a solid pick and could work even better with a 5070 Ti or 9070 XT if you want extra performance.
If you’re leaning towards a content creation build as well, the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a great choice. However, you might want to check out the Ryzen 5700X3D or 5800X3D for better gaming performance. There are some benchmark videos you should look up on YouTube for more insights!
Thank you for the suggestion!
Thanks, I’ll definitely consider that option! Do you know where to find these parts in a combo?
