Hey everyone! I'm working on a new PC build and could really use some feedback to help optimize it. I already have my SSD and HDD sorted out, so no need for storage suggestions. Here's what I'm currently planning to use: - **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 8400F - **GPU:** ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Twin Edge OC 16GB - **Motherboard:** ASUS TUF Gaming A620M-PLUS WiFi (AM5) - **RAM:** 16GB (2x8GB) Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 5600 MT/s CL40 - **PSU:** be quiet! Pure Power 12 850W (80+ Gold, ATX 3.1) - **Case:** MSI MAG PANO M100R PZ - **Thermal Paste:** Arctic MX-4 This PC is primarily for gaming, and I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on: - Getting better value for my choices - Any potential bottlenecks - Compatibility concerns - Whether any components are overkill or if something should be upgraded or downgraded. Thanks a lot for your insights!

Your CPU might hold the build back a little; a 9600x or 7800X3D could be better options for you. It's crucial to check that your BIOS can handle the upgrade too. Don't forget to think about your peripherals as wellโ€”getting a nice keyboard, mouse, or headset can really enhance your gaming experience!

Looks like a solid build already! The RAM you have is pretty decent. If you're looking for an upgrade, consider moving to a 7800x3D CPU. Just make sure your BIOS is up to date to support it. With this upgrade, youโ€™ll definitely see better performance at 1080p and 1440p!
