I'm completely new to building PCs and I want to get feedback on my current build. Here's the list of components I've selected:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
- CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition
- Motherboard: MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI Micro ATX AM5
- Memory: Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR5-5200
- Storage: Kingston NV3 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD
- Video Card: XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
- Case: Thermaltake S100 MicroATX Mini Tower
- Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE Gold V3 650 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX
The total price comes to about $961.23. Any insights on this build or potential issues?

I see you're using a single stick of RAM, which isn't the best for performance. It would be ideal to have two sticks with the same speed since that helps with dual-channel memory. Also, consider upgrading the power supply. I had a similar one, and it failed on me. Just a heads up! Everything else looks solid.
Definitely swap the RAM for a dual-channel setup. That said, I'm also concerned about the power supply. Mine blew with similar specs. It's not modular either, which can make cable management a pain. Still, your other choices look great!
Just a heads-up about the NV3 SSD; it typically uses QLC flash, which isn't as durable and can slow down over time. I recommend looking for a TLC flash SSD instead, such as the Patriot P400 Lite or Klevv CRAS C910 for better longevity.
