I'm putting together my first PC build and would love some feedback on the components I'm planning to use. Here's what I've selected so far:
- Motherboard: MSI B850m Gaming Plus Wifi6E
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9700x
- RAM: Adata XPG Lancer 16GB x2 (6000 MHz)
- GPU: RX 9060 XT PowerColor Hellhound 16GB OC
- Storage: Samsung 990 EVO Gen5 1TB
- PSU: Cougar GR850 (850W)
I also have an Ocypus Gamma C50 case that should fit the GPU well. My goal with this build is to achieve smooth 1440p gaming and handle tasks like network labs and virtual machines. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

You might want to consider a 650W PSU instead of the 850W you're planning. That's probably overkill for your setup. Just double-check a PSU tier list to ensure whatever you choose is a reliable brand though!
Totally agree! I think 750W might be close to the limit if you plan on upgrading in the future, especially with power-hungry GPUs. It's always good to have a little headroom.
