Here's what I've got: - Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 5060 VENTUS 2X OC 8GB - Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with Wraith Stealth cooler - Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI - Case: [Amazon Link](https://www.amazon.com/Okinos-Genuine-Non-PWM-Pre-Installed-Cypress/dp/B0DQPMNK81?crid=2K5L8B1P2I8AM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.G45qWqI3Hq5-K5iHtZ9z2hPpDqebrZFhXkd1481EpG2CS_73VF1fh8-zySZP8mUQVmplSd6zwcM7hEcWqeOFznmhfKZ9u3PI9NWOPJguqlnejJK72-8yHkyTOgHLFL716eYFE2tC1jU0uxs49VB71TeK_moLZ3XEW5kR6f_HbiVPgjMMs_rv_IxLx2NNRYJVYhRIiDGZrS8bbWzTVyXjuhnfbhLdVOednTpzbbgYdtLwvzjktaMOgAjIItzfGFs-VeoZ7ZTGQ2cORljvRQbvwy5Ov4_N4TSPctrpfc87JT4._my2WA5rm92CkIz4Rdd2HFfLzTyxygzisYf5rED9xn4&dib_tag=se&keywords=okinos+matx&qid=1749515472&s=electronics&sprefix=okinos+matx,electronics,79&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=buildhelptemplates-20&linkId=341d28eb2f2b7096a5e2370426d147ad&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) - Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BN - RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB - Storage: MSI Spatium M371 1TB.

Honestly, I'd steer clear of the RTX 5060. It's not a great GPU and there are better options out there. You might want to look into something like the RX 9060 XT instead, which has better performance and more VRAM.

CuriousCat87: Oh really? Why's the 5060 so bad?

That build looks solid for 1080p gaming! Just curious, what games are you planning to play? If it's just casual gaming, you're good to go with what you've chosen.
