I've been researching PC builds and realize that this might not be the best time to buy, but I have a build in mind that I want to get checked out by some pros before making a purchase. The goal is to stay around $1000. Here's what I've put together:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($179.00 @ Amazon)
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Assassin X Refined SE PLUS 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler ($19.79 @ Amazon)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard ($156.60 @ Amazon)
- **Memory**: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory ($109.99 @ Amazon)
- **Storage**: KingSpec XG7000 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($90.99 @ Newegg Sellers)
- **Video Card**: XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Video Card ($379.99 @ Newegg Sellers)
- **Power Supply**: Apevia Galaxy 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply ($54.99 @ Amazon)
- **Case**: Lian Li O11D V2 ($94.99)
Total estimated cost is $1086.34 including shipping and taxes. What do you think? Are these components compatible and a good choice?

I recommend looking into a better power supply. Don't cheap out on this part, especially if you care about your build. I've had a PSU fail on me twice over 8 years, and I wouldn't want that happening to you!

Your build looks solid overall, but you might struggle to find the RX 9060 XT at that price right now. Prices can fluctuate a lot, so just be aware of that when you go shopping.
