I'm planning a $1,500 PC build and would love your critique! I'm getting the CPU and GPU from Newegg since they're cheaper and more available. I'm going for the 9060 XT instead of the 7600 XT because the latter costs more right now. For the CPU, I'm opting for the Ryzen 5 7500f. The rest of the components are from Amazon: I have a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE V3 cooler, an Asrock B650 PRO RS Wifi motherboard, Arctic MX-6 thermal paste, a Corsair 4000D case, and a Samsung 990 PRO 1TB SSD. The power supply is a Corsair RM750e, and I've picked a Logitech G305 Lightspeed mouse. I'll pair it all with an Alienware 27 inch AW2725DM QHD gaming monitor, a Razer Barracuda X wireless headset, and a Redragon K552 mechanical keyboard. This build is aimed to be semi-budget-friendly, ideally staying under $1,500 while still delivering similar performance. Keep in mind that I prefer function over aesthetics or RGB lighting, and I just want it to look decent. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions you might have!

Really nice setup! I agree with the suggestion to wait on RAM prices. You might find some good deals if you give it a bit of time!
Looks like a solid build! Just a heads up, if you’re thinking about RAM, you might want to double-check your budget as it can get pricey. Waiting for prices to drop might be a good idea too.
Thanks for the tip! I’m aiming for 32GB of DDR5 at 6000MHz, but it’s a bummer how expensive it’s getting.
