Hey everyone! I'm putting together a PC build and I'm on a tight budget, so I need your thoughts on whether this is a good setup. Here's what I've got so far:
- **GPU**: RX 7600 XFX for $250
- **CPU**: 7600X (it's part of a bundle)
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Assassin for $16
- **Motherboard**: ASUS B650E Max (also in the bundle)
- **RAM**: G.Skill (1x16GB, from the bundle)
- **Storage**: KLEVV CRAS C910 500GB for $35
- **Case**: Allied Gaming Patriot ATX for $50
- **Monitor**: MSI 144hz (1080p) for $79
- **Keyboard**: Redragon K617 HE Rapid Trigger for $40
- **Thermal Paste**: Thermalright TF8 2g for $3
- **Extras**: GPU Support Bracket for $4 and USB 16GB Thumb Drive for $6
Just a heads up, I'm planning some future upgrades: swapping the CPU for a 7800X3D or 9800X3D, upgrading to a Peerless Assassin cooler, getting a 5070 Super GPU, a 2k Asus TUF monitor, adding another 16GB of RAM, and a 12TB HDD later on. Let me know what you think!

Honestly, while the RX 7600 is decent, you might want to consider the RTX 5050 instead if it fits your budget. It could offer better resale value later on. Just something to think about since you're planning on upgrading soon!
I checked eBay, and prices for the RTX 5050 are pretty high right now. It might be more cost-effective to just stick with the 7600 for now.
