I'm super excited to finally build my first PC, a dream I've had for a while! I've put together the following components and would love any advice or suggestions for improvements:
- Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS Wi-Fi ATX - €172
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600x (AM4) - €204
- Graphics Card: Powercolor Radeon RX 9060 XT Reaper 16GB - €390
- RAM: Kingston Fury Beast Black DDR5 5600MHz 2x16GB - €154
- Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX - €90
- Case: NZXT H5 Flow (2024) - €85
- Fan: Arctic P12 PWM 120mm - €7
- Monitor: LG Ultragear 27GS0Q 27" - €200
I'm located in Finland, so any insights on compatibility or upgrades would be greatly appreciated!

I spotted an issue with your CPU compatibility. The 5600 is AM4, but your motherboard is for AM5. You’ll want to look for processors like the 7500F, 7600, or 7600X. Also, consider upgrading your RAM to a 6000 CL30 kit if possible. And for the power supply, check out this alternative that's cheaper and higher quality: [link]. An 850W PSU is just overkill for your setup.
Honestly, your build looks great! You've chosen some solid components that should work well together.
Thanks! I've been putting parts together for a while now, especially since quarantine. It's finally happening!
You might want to consider getting a Ryzen 5 5600x or 5600xt. The extra single-core clock speed can make a noticeable difference in gaming performance. Also, just a heads up, you can't use DDR5 with the Ryzen 5000 series; you'll need DDR4 instead!
Oh, what would I need to get DDR5 then?
Oh, I didn't notice that! Rookie mistake—thanks for catching it!
