I recently bought a PC with an RTX 5060, Ryzen 5 7500F, and a B840M motherboard. I paid around $1,190 for the complete setup. I mainly play AAA games and do some coding, and I'm wondering whether I made a poor hardware choice or if this is a well-balanced build for my budget.

It sounds like a solid, sensible system. You didn’t need to buy an extreme flagship setup to have a good experience, and the Ryzen 5 7500F is a capable gaming CPU. As long as the power supply, cooling, and memory are appropriate, you should be fine.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with that combination. If the total build was about $1,190 and it fits your budget, it should handle AAA gaming and coding perfectly well. The main thing to evaluate is whether the RTX 5060 was priced fairly; depending on the local price, an AMD graphics card might have offered better gaming performance for the money.
