Hey everyone! I'm planning to buy a new PC and would love your insights. Here's what I'm looking at: an Intel i5-14400F processor, an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM (with plans to add another 16GB), an Intel H610 motherboard, a 550W power supply, and a 1TB SSD. What do you think? Any suggestions or improvements?

If you're set on the Intel i5-14400F, just know that the upgradeability might not be fantastic. An AMD processor like the 7600X could be a better choice in the long run. Plus, the 4060 might be a bit overkill for that CPU—consider balancing your components better. And make sure your RAM is fast enough too! Good luck!
A 550W PSU is pretty solid for this setup, but make sure it’s a good quality one to handle the load effectively!
It really depends on what you plan to do with it. If you're aiming for gaming, especially games like CS2, R6S, and Warzone, there might be a few tweaks you'd want to consider. For gaming, I'd suggest looking at parts that have better upgrade paths, like an AMD processor. Also, having two sticks of RAM is crucial for performance. You might want to aim for at least 16GB of 5600MHz RAM instead of what you've got listed. And remember, a high-end GPU with a lower-end CPU might be unbalanced, so think about what will suit your gaming needs best!
You should definitely include more details like your RAM speeds and how many sticks you're planning for, that info can help get better advice.
Oh, and if you're looking at prebuilts, checking out local stores is great too! I found decent setups at competitive prices!
Yeah, you might actually get better performance with a 7500F if you’re planning to stick with a GPU in that range.
