I'm building my first PC and I'm wondering if the RX 5700 and Ryzen 5 5600 are still decent options for 1080p gaming. For those who have experience with this setup, how do these components handle games like Elden Ring, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Dark Souls? Can I expect smooth gameplay?

Honestly, the RX 5700 and Ryzen 5 5600 can still do the job, but if you're aiming for 1080p at lower to medium settings, you'll be fine. Just don't expect to crank up all the settings to max.
You might want to look into the X variant if you can stretch your budget a bit; it performs well even at 1440p. But if you're limited to $500, the options will be a bit tight.
I can't go for the X variant since it exceeds my budget. Just trying to find the best deal!
I had a great time gaming with an i5 8500 and GTX 1070 at 1080p, so you should have a solid experience with your setup for those games too!
The Ryzen 5600 is a solid CPU for modern gaming. The RX 5700 is a bit older but still decent. If you can find an RX 7700 or RX 6750, those would be even better options.
There's some great feedback out there on the RX 5700 and Ryzen 5600 combo! Gamers report smooth frames at 1080p, and even decent performance at 1440p for titles like Cyberpunk and Warzone. Here's a quick chart for reference that shows a range of games and their performance at different resolutions:
- Counter-Strike 2: 262 FPS at 1080p
- Fortnite: 142 FPS at 1080p
- Cyberpunk 2077: 64 FPS at 1080p
All in all, you should have a good gaming experience with the titles you're interested in!

My budget is $500, and that's the best I could find in the used market!
