Hey everyone! I just finished my build after about four hours of assembling everything. I went with a Ryzen 7 9700X processor paired with a 5060 Ti GPU that has 16GB of overclocked memory. The motherboard is a basic B650M WiFi model, and I've got 16GB of DDR5 6000MHz RAM. For power, I chose a Cooler Master 750W PSU that's 80 Plus Gold certified, and I'm using their ML360L AIO cooler for the CPU. I aimed for an all-white aesthetic, but unfortunately, I couldn't find a matching motherboard and GPU. For storage, I've got a 1TB Gen4 PCIe SSD, and my monitor is a Samsung Odyssey G4, 27 inches. My main concern is whether my CPU or GPU is going to bottleneck the performance in this setup.

If you want to avoid bottlenecks, think about upgrading to 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz RAM. That way, you won't face many issues running games at 1080p or even 1440p in the future.
Absolutely, just take your time! The build still sounds awesome.
You're only rocking 16GB of memory? You might want to clarify if that’s 2x16GB or just one stick. If it’s just one, you might not be getting the most out of your system.
The 5060 Ti will probably be the bottleneck if you're pushing anything above 1080p. But honestly, your build should handle things well enough. Just adjust expectations based on the resolution you’re gaming at.
My current monitor is set at 1080p, and I plan to keep it that way for now, so fingers crossed it works great!
Totally! That setup should be solid for 1080p gaming.
I’ve been considering a RAM upgrade, but it may take some time before I can swing it.
