Asked By GamerNinja42 On

I'm trying to put together a gaming PC for around $1100, and I've come up with a list of components. I'd love to get any feedback you guys might have on it! Here's what I have so far: an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE V3 CPU cooler, MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI motherboard, Crucial Pro 64 GB memory, a Silicon Power 4 TB NVME SSD, ASRock Challenger OC Radeon RX 9060 XT video card, a Ventum 200 Air ATX case, and a Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600W power supply. Does anything look off or could I make any upgrades? Thanks!

If you're only using the 4TB NVME for storage, definitely think about having a backup solution or using two drives in RAID1. The Silicon Power isn't the best brand for durability. Also, consider looking for a used NVIDIA card; you might find a solid deal on something like an RTX 3080 that's better than the RX 9060 you’re eyeing.

I agree with you! A higher quality SSD with TLC flash would give you better long-term performance. Brands like Kioxia or WD might be good alternatives.

Honestly, you could drop down to 32GB of RAM and still be totally fine. That’d free up some of your budget for a better CPU or other components!

Check out some of the pinned posts over in r/buildapcforme. With your budget, I really think you might want to ditch the AM4 option. A 12th gen Intel chip, like the 12600KF, would give you way better performance for gaming and it's getting cheaper. If you can swing it, AM5 would be a great upgrade, too!

I'd suggest checking for some AM5 deals, you might find a good combo with the 7600X that fits within your budget. You could get better performance while staying close to your cost goal!
