Hey everyone! I posted previously asking for advice on my current PC build, and I've come to a decision point. I'm considering ditching my AM4 setup for a new AM5 system instead of making small upgrades to my AM4, which might require another upgrade in a couple of years. I primarily use my PC for gaming and I want something that can handle everything without necessarily being the top of the line for graphics and frame rates.
Currently, I'm looking at a build around 1,000 euros, and here's what I've got:
- Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT 16GB
- Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2
- Deepcool LE520
- Ryzen 5 7600X
- MSI Pro B650-S WiFi
- 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30 RAM
I already have a case and a standard SSD, and my power supply is a 650W Gold.
With my budget and potential for spending a bit more, what are your recommendations? Should I consider upgrading to a better CPU like the 7600X3D, or would it be wiser to invest in a better GPU? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I think the Ryzen 7600X is a solid choice for your build! For gaming, I'd recommend focusing your budget on the GPU, since that's where you'll get the most performance boost. The RX 9060 XT is great, but if you can stretch your budget a little more for a higher-end GPU, it might be worth it in the long run!
Yeah, I get that the RX 9060 XT is a good value right now, but sometimes spending a bit more on the GPU can give you substantial improvements. Just make sure you’re not shorting yourself on the CPU side for future games!
