I'm building my first PC with a budget of about 1000€ and I'd love some feedback on my components. Here's what I've picked out: CPU: i5 14400F, Motherboard: ASRock B760 Pro RS, RAM: Patriot Viper VENOM DIMM Kit 32GB DDR5, SSD: WD Blue SN580 NVMe SSD 1TB, PSU: FSP VITA GM 650W ATX 3.1, CPU cooler: Arctic Freezer 36, and Case: Kolink Unity Lateral Performance. If any of these parts are likely to bottleneck my performance, please let me know so I can make improvements!

I think your CPU might not be the best match for the 5060Ti. You can see the potential bottleneck on websites that offer bottleneck calculators. They’re not perfect, but they can give a rough idea. Just check out your build here: pc-builds.com. Just a heads up, don't take those calculators as gospel; they can sometimes be misleading!
Overall, your build looks solid! However, you might want to think about going with the AM5 platform and a Ryzen 7600 instead. This way, you’d be on a more up-to-date platform and have the possibility to upgrade your CPU later on.
1) Avoid using those bottleneck calculators, they can be quite misleading. 2) If you do use them, make sure to input the correct settings. For gaming, you should be focused on graphically intensive tasks. I really don't think the i5 14400F is weak for your GPU, just do your research!
