I'm building a gaming PC for my friend with a budget of £1000, aiming for good performance at 1080p and possibly 1440p. So far, here's what I've put together: [PCPartPicker List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/k72pJn). I've built one PC before, but I'm looking for advice on how to make this build better. I'm also considering whether to wait for the 9060XT, but I'm unsure if it's worth it, especially as initial specs seem less impressive than the 5060 Ti and it might end up about £100 cheaper at MSRP. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I tweaked your build to enhance it: [Here’s my version!](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xqsfjn). It includes:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz
- Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin
- 32 GB DDR5 RAM
- 2 TB NVMe SSD
- RTX 5060 Ti GPU
- Better PSU for future upgrades!
Total is about £1012.61, so a tad over budget but worth it if he can push it a bit higher!
This looks awesome! But I noticed it doesn't factor in Windows. Still, if he can stretch to around £1100, it’s a major upgrade from my original!
