Hey everyone! I'm building my first gaming PC and I'm excited to ditch my laptop that can barely run Minecraft at 30fps. I've done some research and tried to select parts that minimize bottlenecks since I plan on playing games at 1080p, maybe even 1440p in the future. I'd love your thoughts on whether these components are cost-effective or if there's any way to get better performance for less money. I really appreciate any suggestions! Here's my parts list: [Parts List Link](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mc4HXR)

Consider going for the RX 9060 XT; it’s newer and performs similarly to the 7700 XT, plus it supports improved FSR 4 upscaling. It might even be cheaper! For the CPU, if the price is right, the 7600X or 9600X could serve you just as well for gaming since the extra cores of the 7700X are likely overkill for your needs.
I checked those parts on a bottleneck calculator, and they actually stack up quite well against my current setup while being a bit cheaper. Great suggestion!
