I'm considering building a PC with an RX Radeon 9060 XT (16GB) graphics card matched with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT processor. Is this a good combination for performance, or should I look into other options?

If you already have the 5600GT, it’s fine. Otherwise, I’d recommend looking into an AM4 CPU with a full 32MB cache or even an X3D chip if you can find one at a decent price.
Honestly, if you’re not set on the 5600GT, consider getting one of the Ryzen 5 5600 models or even the 5600X/5600XT. They’ll generally offer better performance and are a more solid investment.
As an AMD enthusiast currently using a 5900X, I’d say the 5600GT is more of a rehashed mobile chip and isn’t the best choice for desktop gaming. For the same price, you could get an Intel i5-12600KF which would outperform it in most scenarios. Here’s a comparison [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dNbmQP) to consider.
Yeah, Intel's been really competitive lately. Definitely worth looking into options on that side!
