Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a new gaming PC and could really use some help finalizing a few parts. Here's what I currently have in mind:
- **GPU**: RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (looking for brand suggestions)
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (considering the 7600X as well)
- **RAM**: Kingston FURY Beast EXPO DDR5 16GB (6000MHz CL30)
- **Storage**: Crucial T500 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD
I'm open to any recommendations to tweak these selections or any advice on components I still need:
- **Power Supply**: I need something reliable, quiet, and not overly powerful.
- **Motherboard**: It should support DDR5, ideally with solid VRMs, Wi-Fi capability, and PCIe 5.0.
- **CPU Cooler**: Looking for a good performer that keeps temperatures down, ideally quiet, and not too expensive.
I'm trying to stick to a budget of 1000 to 1100 euros. If you've built something similar, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

For your budget, you might need to make some compromises. Here’s a suggestion:
- Consider going with a slightly lower CPU, like the Ryzen 7500F, to free up some budget.
- Instead of your initially chosen SSD, think about a more affordable option.
- Regarding the GPU, I found a budget-friendly RTX 5060 Ti model. If possible, stretching your budget to around 1200 euros could allow for a bigger upgrade, like the 5070 or 9070, especially if you're eyeing 1440p gaming.
What country are you shopping from? Just curious about local prices and availability.
I'm from Serbia, but most vendors source their products from Hungary, so that's where I'm looking.
Here's a solid build:
- **GPU**: ASUS Dual EVO GeForce RTX 4060 OC 8GB (great for 1080p and decent 1440p gameplay).
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 for good performance and future upgrades.
- **Motherboard**: ASUS TUF GAMING B650E-EN Gaming WiFi (solid feature set).
- **RAM**: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 16GB (6000MHz). If your budget allows it, consider 32GB.
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD 1TB (fast and reliable).
- **PSU**: Corsair RM650 650W 80+ Gold (great for future upgrades).
- **Case**: MSI MAG PANO White for good airflow.
- **Cooler**: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L V2 AIO (240mm for good cooling).
Just a note about RAM prices; they’re currently a bit high, so it might be wise to wait for a price drop if possible.
Good point about RAM prices! I'll keep an eye out for any future reductions.
If you're looking to save some cash, a less expensive motherboard could fit your needs too. This way, you could afford the Ryzen 7600X or opt for a more future-ready PSU which might be a touch overkill but will run quieter and last through more upgrades.
