Hey everyone! I'm putting together my first PC build and could really use your help. I've pieced together some parts on PCPartPicker and am hoping to keep the total cost around $900. Here's the link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3PKR6Q. If you have any suggestions for parts that I should swap out or upgrades that might fit my budget, please let me know!

It looks like you have the basics down! Just a heads up, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 already comes with a stock cooler, so you might want to skip spending $65 on an additional cooler. You can also find faster RAM for the same price. If you're in the market for a GPU, the 5060 is a solid option as it's slightly better than the 7600XT and usually goes for around $300.
Thanks for the tip! I didn't realize the stock cooler was good enough. My PSU is about $100, but I know that's budget-friendly. As for the case, it's around $90.
If you’re in the US, I found that you could get a much better deal on components. For example, you could opt for a full-sized motherboard, a decent CPU cooler, and a faster graphics card for under $900. Check out this list I created: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mzsgHW – it includes good options for a balanced build.
Good call on the cooler! Could you clarify if you have a case and PSU included in the price?
