I've put together a PC build that I think should handle 1440p gaming pretty well, but I'm not sure if it's really decent. Here's the link for the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cmRggn. I'm aware the GPU isn't the best, but it comes bundled with Battlefield 6, so I can manage with it for now. What do you all think?

Your build looks okay, but consider swapping out the 7500F for a 7600X if you can stretch your budget by just $20 — that CPU is a better option! Also, you might want to include a CPU cooler since it's missing in your build. Here’s a suggested list: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2DTDWc) with a total of around $897.
It's decent enough for running current games at 1440p on medium to high settings with good FPS. However, future-proofing is a bit tricky; we don’t know what upcoming games will demand. Focus on being able to play the games you enjoy now instead of stressing too much about future upgrades.
I get that, but with the AM5 motherboard and DDR5, I'm aiming for a clearer upgrade path down the line.
If you could spend around $120-150 more, upgrading to the 9060XT 16GB would be a solid move. It's definitely worth considering if you want better long-term performance.
I’d love to, but my budget is tight right now. Planning on upgrading to that one first though!
Why is yours $90 more than mine?
