- **CPU**: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- **Graphics Card**: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7
- **Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin
- **RAM**: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
- **SSD**: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB + Samsung 870 4 TB
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W

This looks like a pretty solid build, but the GPU might not cut it for high-end gaming. What's your overall budget and what games are you planning to play?

You might want to save some cash on the SSD by opting for a Samsung 990 EVO PLUS or maybe a Seagate FireCuda 530. And have you considered going for a Ryzen 7800X3D instead of the 9800X3D? That could help save some bucks too, and you could use that to snag a better GPU like the 9070 or 5070.

TechieTurtle27: I did think about upgrading to the RX 9070 XT, but this one seemed like a better fit for my needs without the hefty price tag. I'm trying to stay around $2.7K USD since I'm based outside the US. I mainly play games like Helldivers, Nioh 3, WoW, E33, and some heavily modded BG3.
