I'm diving into the world of PC building for the very first time, and after a ton of research and second-guessing, I've put together a build list. I want to make sure everything works well together and isn't over the top or incompatible. Here's what I've got so far:
- **CPU Bundle ($489)**: 7600x, TeamGroup 16GB DDR5, Asus Strix B850-A
- **GPU ($430)**: ASRock Steel Legend 9060x
- **PSU ($96)**: MSI A850GS
- **CPU Cooler**: MSI Coreliquid A13 240mm AIO (didn't plan on liquid cooling, but it's a freebie!)
- **SSD ($233)**: 2TB Patriot 400 Lite
- **Case ($89)**: LianLi 011D Mini V2
- **Fans ($50)**: Corsair RS120 (3 pack)
- **Monitor ($300)**: AOC Q27G4ZMN
- **Keyboard ($168)**: Keychron Q1 Pro
- **Mouse ($56)**: MCHOSE L7
Total cost: $1911. I'd appreciate any feedback on this setup!

Check out the benchmarks for that GPU! If you're considering upgrading, a 5070ti might be a great option if you're looking for better performance. Don’t forget to look into all the little extras like a good headset or speakers to complete your setup.
Looks like a solid build overall! Just a heads up, 16GB of RAM might feel a bit limited for heavier multitasking or gaming, especially since prices are high right now. You might want to consider adding more RAM in the future if your budget allows. Also, don't forget things like a mouse pad or extra storage options!
Thanks for the tips! I’m thinking about how to balance performance and budget, so I’ll definitely keep that in mind!
