I'm looking to build a PC and I want your opinions on this setup: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nyxLgn](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nyxLgn). Are all the components in this build balanced, or am I going to face any bottlenecks?

Don’t forget about the CPU cooler – you’ll need one!
If you can save a bit more, consider going for the AM5 platform – it’ll be worth it in the long run! But if you've already got the Ryzen 5 5500, that’s fine. Also, there's a GPU that’s actually stronger and cheaper than the 4060 you have: [https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BxRnTW/asrock-challenger-oc-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx9060xt-cl-16go](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BxRnTW/asrock-challenger-oc-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx9060xt-cl-16go).
Yeah, but I’ve already got the Ryzen 5 5500.
You might want to look into the 12400F paired with the 9060xt 16GB – here's a link to that build: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JgCmzP](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JgCmzP). If you're sticking with the 5500, then check out this setup: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6xV3Jn](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6xV3Jn).
I know the CPU came with a fan, but is that fan good enough or do I need something better?
