Hey everyone! I'm putting together my first PC build and have spent quite a bit of time researching components. I'm really hoping to get some feedback on my part list before I finalize my order. Do you think there are any potential bottlenecks or compatibility issues with the components I've chosen? Also, if you have any suggestions for better options, I'd love to hear them! Just to note, I'm not into video editing or rendering—mainly looking to play games like Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption. Thanks a ton for your help! Here's my part list:
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
**CPU Cooler:** be quiet! Dark Rock 5 93.5 CFM CPU Cooler
**Motherboard:** MSI PRO B650-S WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
**Memory:** Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR5-5600 CL36 Memory

I would suggest considering a B650E or even a B850 motherboard for better future-proofing with PCIe Gen5 support. The prices are often quite close. Also, you might want to switch to 6000MHz CL30 RAM, as it gives better performance in gaming—especially for lower frame rates. Your GPU choice is decent, but if you find a good deal, look into the 9070XT as it has a newer architecture. For the CPU, the 9600X is a great option; it's just a tad faster and usually still around the same price. Lastly, I’d recommend looking for at least a 2TB SSD since game sizes are only getting larger! Everything else looks promising!
Check out my build instead! I've put together a list with some tweaks that could save you money while still boosting performance. **Here’s what I’ve got:**
