Hey everyone! I'm working on a PC build for my partner, who is seriously struggling with their current setup. I want to put together something functional that can handle games like Cyberpunk, Battlefield, PUBG, and heavily modded Minecraft. My goal is to keep the build as white as possible with minimal RGB since it bothers my partner's eyes. I've got a budget of around $1000 and here's what I'm considering so far:
- **Case:** NZXT H5 Flow ATX Mid Tower
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (4.7 GHz, 6-Core)
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 White
- **Motherboard:** MSI MPG B650 EDGE WIFI ATX AM5
- **Memory:** Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2x16 GB, DDR5-6000)
- **Storage:** Western Digital Black SN770 (1 TB, NVME)
- **Graphics Card:** PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 7600 (8 GB)
- **Power Supply:** NZXT C850 (850W, 80+ Gold)
If I've overlooked anything important, please let me know! Also, if anyone has suggestions for quiet, budget-friendly white fans, that would be awesome!

If you can stretch your budget by around $70, you can build an all-white setup with the 9060XT GPU. I put together a part list that fits that price point! Check it out: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qC6GTM). It includes an updated CPU cooler, motherboard, and memory that keep everything cohesive in white!
You might consider switching to a less expensive case. Montech has options like the Air 903 that are budget-friendly. You could also save a bit by looking for a cheaper B650M motherboard if you want to stick to your budget. Also, I think an 8GB GPU may struggle with heavily modded games, so saving for a 16GB option like the 9060 XT would be worthwhile. Lastly, a power supply in the 650 or 750W range should work fine for your setup and save you some cash!
Great tips here! Just a reminder to check that your motherboard can handle the power requirements for the 105W CPU you chose. And regarding the power supply, as long as it’s fully modular, it'll make assembly a lot easier. Definitely prioritize a better GPU with any savings you make!
Good point! Also, keep in mind that if you get ARGB parts, they can usually be turned off, so it shouldn’t deter you from getting them if they match your build!
Thanks for the suggestions! I might be able to go up to $1100 by buying the parts gradually to ease the financial strain.
