I'm planning to build a gaming PC with a budget of $1000. Here's what I've come up with so far: I'm using an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor, a Thermalright CPU cooler, 16GB of Kingston RAM, a 1TB MSI NVMe SSD, an XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card, a Phanteks mid-tower case, and a 750W MSI power supply. I also included a 24" monitor. The total before rebates is $954.31. Any thoughts on whether this is a good build? Am I missing anything important?

Your components seem decent! Just keep in mind that you're definitely missing a motherboard in your list. It’s crucial for everything to connect properly. Otherwise, you should be in good shape!
Looks good overall! Just remember, you need a motherboard for this build. Also, depending on the games you play, 16GB of RAM might not be enough. You may want to consider upgrading to 32GB if you can stretch the budget a bit.
Yeah, 32GB would be awesome but it might push you over budget.
Good point! I totally overlooked the motherboard.
Thanks for the heads up!
