I'm new to PC building and would love some feedback on my current build. Here's what I've put together:
- Asus Prime Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB GDDR6
- Asus B650M-AYW WIFI motherboard
- Asus Prime 650W 80+ Bronze power supply
- AMD Ryzen 5 7500F at 3.7 GHz
- Hyper 212 Spectrum V3 CPU cooler
- 16GB (2x8GB) 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM
- 1TB PCIe M.2 2280 NVMe SSD
- Elite 302 aRGB micro ATX case
I'm open to suggestions and want to make sure I'm on the right track!

You should ideally allocate around 35-45% of your budget for the graphics card. The 8GB 9060XT is a great pick for a $700-$900 PC, but check your overall cost; it might be more than that with not much performance gain for the extra cash.
I’d recommend a few changes:
1. Upgrade to the 16GB GPU if you can. The extra memory is worth it for future-proofing.
2. About the case, if you're not keen on larger micro ATX, maybe look for a different model that suits you better. Also, make sure your RAM is at least CL32 or lower for the best performance.
This setup looks solid. If the price difference isn’t too steep, the Ryzen 7600X could give you slightly better performance, especially for 1080p gaming. Just a thought!
You might want to consider upgrading the GPU to the 16GB version. The 8GB variant could leave you wanting more in the future. Worth it if you can stretch the budget!
