Hey everyone! I built a decent PC about ten years ago with an i5 8500 and a 1060 GPU, but it's finally time for an upgrade. I'm thinking about going with an AM5 setup to keep my options open for future upgrades. Since I mostly game at 1080p, I don't need top-of-the-line components. Here's the build I'm considering:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F
- GPU: RX 9060XT 16GB
- Motherboard: A620M Pro RS
- RAM: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade 2x16GB DDR5 5600MHz
- PSU: 750W Bronze 80+
- Case: Using my current one, which fits an ATX board
- Storage: Moving over my current M.2 and SSD
Does everything look good? Are there any changes I could make to lower the cost? I can get all these parts for about £615, but I'd love to spend less!

Your RAM might be a bit slow. I recommend aiming for DDR5-6000 CL30 instead. The rest of your build looks solid!
How much are you willing to spend? If you can stretch your budget a bit, consider the 7800X3D or the 9070 XT, possibly even the 5070 Ti for better future-proofing.
Your RAM is a bit on the slower side. I'm assuming you mean the 7500F? If you're going for that, it's a good CPU. Just keep in mind that the A620 board is somewhat limited in features. It may not throttle performance, but you might find fewer PCIe lanes and I/O options. Again, faster RAM, like 6000CL30, would be ideal.
