Hey everyone! I'm working on a new PC build and was wondering if there are any optimizations I can make based on my intended use. I prefer to have white components where possible. I plan on using it for gaming—specifically Minecraft with custom shaders, Rainbow Six Siege, and Rust—and also for low intensity tasks like design work in Canva and Figma, as well as using MS Office. I like to have Discord and my browser open in the background without any noticeable performance dips.
For gaming, I'm aiming for 120+ FPS on high settings at 1080P for competitive games, while for more demanding single-player games, I'm okay with 60-80 FPS on max settings. My budget is around $1200 USD, and I'm purchasing my parts in the United States. Here's my current build:

You can get the 9060 XT at various retailers for the same or even less than the 7600 XT. It performs slightly better and supports the newer FSR4 upscaler, which can give you a little boost in frames too!
For about the same price, you could pick up a 9060 XT 16 GB along with a better cooler and a white PSU. It’ll give you a little more power without breaking the bank. You can check it out here: [PCPartPicker Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2gB3Qd).
Awesome, thanks for the info! Do you think there's any need to go with an AIO for cooling, or would that be overkill? Also, should I add three additional case fans for better exhaust?
Thanks! I'll definitely consider that suggestion!
