Hey everyone! I'm building my very first PC and would love some feedback on my part list. I want to make sure it can handle 1080p gaming smoothly. Here's what I'm planning to get:
- RTX 5060 graphics card
- Intel Core i5 14600KF processor
- Corsair Vengeance DDR5 2x16GB at 6000MHz
- Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2 power supply
- Lexar NM790 1TB SSD
- Gigabyte B760 Gaming X motherboard
- Aerocool Streak case
- Cooler Master Hyper 411 Nano cooler
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I would suggest looking into the 9060 XT 16 if you can. It might perform better than the RTX 5060 in some scenarios. But if you’re set on the RTX 5060, it’s still a decent option!
For your CPU, I recommend the 9600X instead. The LGA1700 platform is pretty outdated, so if you ever want to upgrade later, you might find it harder to do without changing the motherboard. The AM5 platform is more future-proof right now!
Would the LGA1700 still work for gaming, though?
That sounds cool, but it's a bit outside my budget. Is the RTX 5060 really that bad?
