I'm looking to build a PC and have been doing a lot of research. Although it's not the best time to buy components, I've put together a build and want to ensure that all the parts are compatible and suitable for my needs before I commit. Here's the breakdown of my build, which totals just over $1,000:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($179.00 @ Amazon)
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Assassin X Refined SE PLUS 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler ($19.79 @ Amazon)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard ($156.60 @ Amazon)
- **Memory**: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory ($109.99 @ Amazon)
- **Storage**: KingSpec XG7000 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($90.99 @ Newegg Sellers)

- **Power Supply**: Apevia Galaxy 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply ($54.99 @ Amazon)

Total Cost: $1086.34 including shipping and taxes. Let me know if you think this build will work well together!

Your build looks solid overall, but you might have trouble finding the RX 9060 XT at that price. Just keep an eye on current market prices; they can fluctuate a lot.
Please don't cheap out on the power supply! My first PSU failed after just a few years, and it wasn't fun. You might want to consider a higher-quality unit, especially for a build you care about.
What do you recommend for a better PSU? I thought the Gold rating was decent?
