Hey everyone, I'm sharing my PC part list and would love your thoughts! Here's the link: [PCPartPicker List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/vDybQd). I'm aware that the 4060 isn't the best option out there. Right now, I'm uncertain about my motherboard choice, and I'm still on the fence about which CPU cooler and fans to go with. Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend going for the RTX 5060 Ti instead of the 4060. It outperforms it by a good margin with more VRAM and wider memory bandwidth. Also, a 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD is a big upgrade over a 1TB SATA SSD. As for cooling, the Thermalright AIO cooler is more affordable and just as effective, compared to the more expensive options out there. I'd also suggest a B850 motherboard, which is future-proof with PCIe Gen5 support. Overall, this build would give you better performance for the same price!
Your part list looks solid! I’ve got a similar build and swapped out the 4060 for an RTX 5070, which has notably better performance. If you’re not really into gaming that needs a powerhouse GPU, the 5070 might still be a worthwhile upgrade. Check out my list here for better options: [Here](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Dh3LqH).
Thanks for the input! Do you think it’s worth the swap to the 5070 or should I consider other GPUs?
That makes sense! I appreciate your feedback. I’ll check out those parts!
