I'm considering a PC build that I plan to use for gaming, specifically for games like Minecraft and Planet Coaster. Here's the spec sheet: it includes an Intel Core i5-14400F CPU with 10 cores, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, an MSI PRO H610M-E motherboard, a 750W Corsair power supply, and a GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card. I'm curious if this setup is a good choice for my gaming needs.

Just a heads up, don’t pair the RTX 5060 with the MSI motherboard you listed. It only supports PCIe 4.0 and could limit performance. It's not the best for future-proofing since the GPU has 8 lanes. You'd want something that can fully utilize your GPU.
Have you considered an AMD setup instead? For a similar budget, you could get an AMD Ryzen 5 8500G with a more upgrade-friendly motherboard and VRAM options. That might give you more longevity down the line!
The overall choice depends heavily on the price of this build. While the components are decent, some could be upgraded for better performance. If the price is right, it might be worth it, but keep that in mind when budgeting.
Honestly, for Minecraft and Planet Coaster, this build is pretty overkill. You could likely get away with a solid laptop for around 500 euros that would handle those games just fine.
