Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a PC but I'm feeling a bit lost with all the options available. I've been looking at a build priced at $800, and here are the components:
- **CPU**: Intel Core i5-14600KF
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR4
- **GPU**: AMD Radeon RX 7600
- **RAM**: Patriot Viper Elite II DDR4-3600 (2 x 16GB)
- **Storage**: WD Black SN770 (1TB)
- **Case**: Thermaltake Versa H17
- **PSU**: Thermaltake Smart 700W
- **Cooler**: Cooler Master i70C
I'm primarily interested in streaming and some medium-quality gaming. Do you think these components are a good choice? I can stretch my budget a little bit for better performance, too!

I found an alternative build that might suit your needs better, priced around $800. It includes an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with a better cooler, a solid motherboard, fast memory, and a decent storage solution. With that setup, you could really optimize your performance. Here's a snapshot:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- Motherboard: ASRock B650M PG Lightning
- Memory: Patriot Viper Venom 16 GB DDR5
- Video Card: Intel Limited Edition Arc B580
- **Total**: About $815!
I can share the full part list if you're interested! Also, is it okay to mix an Intel GPU with an AMD CPU? That’s a good question, and generally, it should work fine, but it's something to keep in mind for compatibility.
Your build looks solid for 1080p gaming. If that's your target resolution, this setup should give you a decent FPS. Just remember that if you're thinking of playing at 1440p or higher in the future, you might want to invest in a better GPU and perhaps go for a slightly more budget-friendly CPU to keep costs balanced.
