I'm looking to build a gaming PC with a budget of around $1100 and currently have this proposed build: (link). I'm debating if I should downgrade some components to invest more into a better CPU or GPU. Right now, I'm using a GTX 1060 3GB paired with a Ryzen 5 1400. The main purpose of the build is to play single-player games. Any thoughts?

Overall, I think your build is pretty well-balanced! You’ve got a good mix of components for an $1100 budget. If you’re mainly into single-player games, this should serve you well without breaking the bank.
Check out this CPU build: **AMD Ryzen 5 9600X** for around $197. It's a solid option for gaming! You could also consider adding the **XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT**. It’s a decent video card for about $359.99. Here's the full part list I came up with: [link].
I'd also suggest the **7600X**! The benefits of going with the 9600X aren’t huge and might not justify the price difference, depending on where you're located!
Do you have any other recommendations for PSUs? The Montech isn't available where I live.
