Is My PC Build Good for Gaming?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm putting together a PC for a friend and I'm considering swapping out the Antec cooler for an ID cooling frozen A410. I'm a bit worried about compatibility with the rest of the components. Can anyone take a look at my build and let me know if it's good enough to run games like The Last of Us and GTA V smoothly? Here are the parts I'm planning to use:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-14400F
- Cooler: Antec A30 Pro 90W-TDP (thinking of switching to ID cooling frozen A410)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte H610M H
- RAM: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB 16GB DDR5-6000MHz (2 units for a total of 32GB)
- SSD: Crucial P3 Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0
- PSU: 1StPlayer Black SIR 600W
- GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB WindForce 2
- Case: MSI MAG Forge 120A AirFlow (with 6 fans)

I think that PSU is not the best choice. It's pretty low quality, so you might want to check out some reviews or a PSU tier list before deciding. A good rule is to aim for at least a C tier quality, but ideally B or higher.

I've got the A410 in my setup, and it's pretty solid. You shouldn't have any issues with 1080p and 1440p gaming. Looks like a good choice!
