I'm putting together a PC build for around $1350 and I want to know if this setup is good or if I should make any changes. Here are the parts I'm considering:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **RAM**: G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000
- **Motherboard**: ASUS B650E-E TUF Gaming WiFi AM5
(This trio costs about $570 total)
- **GPU**: ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT for $350
- **Storage**: Crucial P310 1TB NVMe SSD for $107
- **PSU**: be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W for $110
- **CPU Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 for $90
- **Case Fans**: PCCOOLER 3in1 120mm Case Fan for $25
- **Case**: CORSAIR 4000D RS for $90
All of this adds up to about $1350. If there are any parts that I can find cheaper or should reconsider, please let me know!

Your CPU choice is a beast, but the 9060 XT is a bit underwhelming compared to that powerful CPU. I'd suggest prioritizing a stronger GPU if possible. What resolution will you be gaming at?
You might want to look into the 9070 XT if your budget allows it—it could match better with your CPU.
I'm aiming for 1080p, maybe higher for games like Hunter: Call of the Wild. This is my first PC, so I’m still learning!
