I'm trying to assemble my first gaming PC that can handle 1440p gaming on a 140Hz monitor. The current build I'm considering costs £1320 and includes the following components:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
- **GPU:** Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB
- **Cooler:** ARCTIC Freezer 36 Tower Air Cooler
- **Motherboard:** B650 Wi-Fi ATX AM5
- **RAM:** 16GB DDR5 at 5200MHz
- **Storage:** 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
- **Case:** Vida Solus ATX Case
- **Power Supply:** 650W 80+ Bronze
- **Operating System:** Windows 11 Home
I'm looking for thoughts and recommendations on whether this setup is worth the price and any improvements I might make!

Those specs should perform decently for 1440p gaming, but you might want to consider adding more RAM since 16GB can be limiting for some games. Overall, it seems like a solid choice for the budget you’re working with!

True, but if you had an extra £1000, you could build a more powerful PC without too much hassle.
