Hey everyone! I'm planning to get a PC for Christmas and I'm trying to figure out if this build is worth the money. I mostly play FPS games like CS:GO and Hunt Showdown at 1080p. Here's what I'm looking at:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
- GPU: GAINWARD GeForce RTX 5060 Ghost 8G
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II
- RAM: ADATA XPG 16GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16 GAMMIX D35
- SSD: WD_BLACK SN7100 1TB
- Power Supply: ADATA XPG PYLON 650W
- Case: ADATA XPG Valor Mesh Black
- CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36 Black
The total cost is about $894.49 or €773.60. Do you think this is a good deal?

Looking at your build, it seems solid for 1080p gaming, but keep in mind:
1. Your power supply is decent, but there might be better options for the price.
2. The CPU cooler could be more cost-effective with other choices available.
3. The SSD is good, though sometimes you can get a DRAM-equipped drive for a similar price, which is excellent for gaming.
4. Ryzen processors benefit from faster RAM, so if you can, get the faster memory.
5. The A520 motherboard limits you for overclocking and is only PCIe 3.0, which may affect newer GPUs. A B550 board might not be much more and would enhance performance with new graphics cards.
I suggest considering the extra $70 for a 5060 Ti. It's a decent upgrade in performance for the cost, which could be beneficial for your gaming.
Is this a prebuilt setup or are you assembling it yourself? Where'd you plan to buy the components from?
