Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a PC and I need some advice on whether the parts I'm looking at will work well together. Specifically, I'm interested in your thoughts on the compatibility of these components and if the motherboard is a solid choice. Here's what I have in mind: RX 9060 XT 16GB, Ryzen 5 5500, and the Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE AX motherboard. I'm based in the UK, so if you have suggestions for better or cheaper alternatives, I'd love to hear them!

You can definitely use those parts together! But may I ask why you chose the Ryzen 5 5500? If it were me, I’d suggest going for the 5600X instead for a new build—it's a bit more powerful for just a little extra cost.
What's the reasoning behind that? The 5500 costs around 75, while the 5600X is about 135. Is there a huge difference in performance?
