Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a gaming PC and I'd really appreciate your feedback on my specs. My budget is around $1400. Here's what I'm considering:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
- Motherboard: MSI B650 Gaming + WiFi
- GPU: Either RTX 5060 Ti or RX 9060, both with 16GB (I'm a bit torn since the RTX is $115 more expensive)
- SSD: 1TB Gen4 NVMe
- Cabinet: Ant Esports X11 RGB
- PSU: 750W 80+ Bronze/Gold
- Monitor: Acer Nitro XV272U F3, 27 inch, 1440p @ 300Hz
Let me know if you think I should change anything!

If you can stretch your budget to $1500, that could really open up some options for better components! Check out this build I came up with: [PC Build Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k8fmsp). It might give you some ideas for upgrades!
Just a heads up, more VRAM doesn't always mean better performance! Check out some speed comparison videos online. Also, I believe the Ryzen CPU doesn’t come with a cooler; you might need to factor that into your budget. Otherwise, everything looks solid!
Good point! I forgot to mention I’ll definitely get a cooler, that should fit in my budget.
Assuming you're in the US, your components look good overall! If you tweak a couple of things, you could even fit in an RTX 5070! Here’s my suggestion: [PC Build Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mtM3TM).
That sounds tough, I’m on a pretty tight budget myself, so I get it!
