I'm looking to build a gaming rig and I'm considering pairing a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU with my 9060xt 16GB graphics card. I'm hoping to play AAA games at 1080p on ultra settings with anti-aliasing. Is this a good combination for my needs?

Yeah, that setup should work fine for 1080p gaming on ultra settings. You'll have a good experience with modern AAA titles.
If you're really into gaming, you might want to consider the Ryzen 5600X3D for slightly better performance. But if the 5600 fits your budget, it's a solid option too!
Those two components match nicely! Just double-check that your motherboard supports Resizable BAR. That'll give you a nice performance boost if it does.
You might also want to consider going for a 9070 if it's within your budget, as it could potentially provide even better performance.
For more power, I'd suggest looking into the 5700X. More cores can make a difference in performance, especially for future games. But the 5600 is still decent for now.

I checked and I turned it on, so I should be good!
