I'm currently working with the following setup:
- Motherboard: MSI B40M-A Pro Max
- CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
- GPU: RX 5600XT
- RAM: 16GB DDR4 2133MHz
- Storage: HDD (not ideal, I know!)
I'm planning to upgrade to:
- Motherboard: ASRock B850M-X WiFi R2.0
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
- GPU: Asus DUAL OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MT/s CAS 36
- SSD: 2TB M.2
- PSU: 500W
I want to know if this build is good for 1440p gaming and if there's anything I should change!

Considering your RAM, I'd suggest trying to get a set with around 30ns CAS latency if possible. Other than that, your build sounds great! Just a heads up: Does the Ryzen 5 7500F come with a cooler? If not, you might want to check out the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE if you're looking for one.
Your build looks pretty solid, especially for a budget setup! The RTX 5060 Ti is a great choice for 1440p. Just wondering, what's your budget for this upgrade? It’ll help gauge if you're on the right track.
Also, are you mainly gaming with this build?
It's for 1440p gaming and my budget is around 1000 euros!
I’ll look for better RAM! I have the stock cooler for the Ryzen 1600, which is the AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler.
