Hey everyone! I'm excited to start building my own PC after playing on my laptop for ages. I mainly play WoW, but I want to dive into some AAA titles and more demanding games. I initially budgeted around $1000, but I'm now considering investing closer to $1500 for better future-proofing. I've put together a list of components, and I'd really appreciate any feedback on them, especially if there are ways to save some money. Here's what I've got so far:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (6 cores, 4.7 GHz, AM5)
- **GPU:** ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti DUAL OC (16GB GDDR7)
- **Motherboard:** ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 (AMD B650, AM5 socket, DDR5)
- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 (32GB, CL30, Dual Channel)
- **Storage:** WD Black SN7100 SSD (1TB, PCIe 4.0, M.2 2280)
- **Cooler:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **PSU:** Montech CENTURY II 850W (ATX 3.1, 80 Plus Gold)
- **Case:** Lian Li DAN Cases A3-mATX
Thanks in advance for your help!

Your build looks solid for the games you're aiming to play! The Ryzen 5 7600X is a strong CPU, and the RTX 5060 Ti should handle AAA titles quite well. One thing you might consider is whether you really need 32GB of RAM, especially if you're mostly gaming. Depending on the games you play, 16GB might suffice, allowing you to allocate budget elsewhere. Also, if possible, keep an eye out for deals; sometimes you can grab parts at discounted rates. Does your case have good airflow? That's crucial for keeping everything running smoothly!
You might want to keep an eye on local prices and deals, especially since you mentioned being in Denmark. Sometimes the same parts can vary quite a bit in price depending on where you buy them. If your budget allows, consider future-proofing with a slightly better GPU like a 5070 Ti if you have the chance! That could give you a significant boost in performance for future games.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely do some price comparisons. Future-proofing is important, and I’ll try to squeeze in the 5070 if I can.
Good point about the RAM! I’ll look into whether 16GB would be enough for my needs, and yeah, airflow in the case is definitely something I’ll check out.
