Hey everyone! I'd love some honest feedback on my current PC build. Here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tvz8C8. I'm aiming to keep the total cost at or below $1500. Do you think this setup is good, or should I swap out any components? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Your build is slightly over budget at about $1554, but it could be worth it for the performance boost. Check out this upgraded build I found: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bQ6Gt3. It includes a better CPU and GPU, plus it can fit within your budget if you can get the GPU at a sales price or consider a slightly cheaper alternative.
If you can find the RX 9070 XT closer to $750, it’ll definitely fit your budget!
Just a heads-up, I wouldn’t go with AM4 for a new build. Have you thought about an AM5 setup? It’ll future-proof your build a bit more.
What do you suggest then? I want to make sure I’m getting the best tech for my money.
Take a look at this alternative: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x4FWwY. It offers a strong AM5 CPU, DDR5 RAM, comparable storage, and an all-around better GPU while saving you about $150. Plus, you can upgrade storage for a reasonable price. Definitely worth considering!
Good call! But I’d recommend going for the 16GB version of the 5060 Ti; it’s just about $80 more.
Definitely a way better build! Just make sure you can snag that GPU near MSRP.
