I'm building my first PC and would love some insights! I've been watching videos and reading reviews on the components I'd like to use, but I'm worried I might have overlooked some potential issues. I know I need to perform a BIOS update for my CPU, which shouldn't be too difficult. My budget is around 1300-1400 euros, and I typically play games like modded Minecraft (like ATM), Baldur's Gate 3, and Sea of Thieves. Here's what I've got planned for the build:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor
- **CPU cooler**: ARCTIC Freezer 36 CPU Cooler
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE ATX AM5 Motherboard
- **RAM**: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2x16GB) DDR5-5600 CL36 Memory
- **Storage**: Corsair MP600 ELITE 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD
- **GPU**: PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060XT 16GB
- **Case**: Montech XR ATX Mid Tower Case
- **PSU**: Gigabyte P650G 650 W 80+ Gold certified ATX Power Supply
Thanks for any tips or advice!

Looks like a solid build! Just make sure that your PSU has sufficient wattage to support your GPU since that's important for performance. Also, check if your case has good airflow, especially with the ARCTIC cooler you’re planning on using. It'll help keep your CPU temps down while gaming! Good luck!
Your parts list seems really well thought-out for gaming! The Ryzen 5 9600X is a great choice. Just be cautious with RAM compatibility on the motherboard; sometimes they don’t play nicely together right out of the box. Also, might be worth checking if you need any additional cooling if you plan on overclocking later on. Have fun building!
I appreciate the heads up! I’ll double-check the compatibility before I buy everything.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll keep an eye on the airflow and make sure to check the PSU ratings.
