I'm new to building PCs and I'm wondering if I've got everything I need with the following parts:
- Gigabyte B50M D3HP motherboard
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor
- Corsair 3000D Airflow mid tower case
- Master Hyper 212 CPU air cooler
- Acer Predator GM7 2TB SSD (M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 2.0)
- Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM (32GB total, 2x16GB sticks, 5200MHz)
- Corsair RM1000E PSU
- Powercolor Reaper AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16GB GDDR6)
Also, I'm considering the total cost of £1,102. Is there anything else I need?

I think a 1000W PSU is overkill for your setup. You might be fine with something around 750W unless you’re planning on massive upgrades in the future. Also, your RAM speed could be better; just a thought! By the way, I haven't used that cooler before, so can't really give advice on that.
Honestly, you're seriously overspecifying on the PSU! A 750W will give you plenty of headroom even for future upgrades to high-end graphics. Plus, if you're looking at performance, the RX 9070 is a solid step up from the 9060XT for 1440p gaming.
