I'm putting together a PC build featuring the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card. I'm on the lookout for a CPU that pairs well with it and a motherboard that can support up to 64GB of RAM, although I'll start with 32GB. My goal is to get good value for my money. Also, what wattage PSU would I need for this setup?

Just a heads-up, there’s a discussion about whether 6 cores are enough. Some folks say getting an 8-core CPU is better, but it really depends on what you’re planning to do. If you’re gaming, 6 cores can often suffice, especially if you’re budget-minded. Just keep future upgrades in mind!
For your build, I recommend going with the Ryzen 5 7600 along with a B650 motherboard. This combo should cost you around $400, and with your 32GB of RAM, you’ll be in a good spot. If you add a decent air cooler for about $20-30 and a power supply rated at 650-750W (750W is a sweet spot), your total cost will be around $550-600. This setup will handle 1080p ultra gaming and 1440p on medium-high settings really well with the RTX 5060 Ti.
