I'm planning to buy my first gaming PC setup this week and I want to make sure I'm making the right choices within my maximum budget of £930 for both peripherals and the PC itself. I've created a build and would love some feedback on whether I'm getting the best value for my money. Here's the breakdown of the components I've selected and their prices: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600, CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36, Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX, Memory: Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith Gaming 32GB, Storage: MSI SPATIUM M470 PRO 1TB SSD, Video Card: Acer Nitro OC Arc B580, Case: Montech XR ATX Mid Tower, Power Supply: Gigabyte UD-GM PG5 750W, Monitor: AOC 24G4XE 24", Mouse: Logitech G305, Headphones: Turtle Beach Recon 50P, and various custom accessories. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Your build looks decent for the budget! I would advise against the B580 video card, as Intel's support is a bit shaky right now. Maybe consider the 9060XT 16GB if you can stretch your budget. That being said, if you aren't planning on gaming on the newest titles, you should be fine. You could also save some cash by using the stock cooler for now; it’s loud but does the job. Just make sure you’re comfortable with the trade-offs!
Yeah, I tried to fit the 9060XT in but it seems out of reach. I’m okay with the Arc B580 for now since I won't play highly demanding games, and the performance seems solid for what I'm aiming for. Plus, I’ve read good things about the xeSS feature.
