I'm gearing up to build my PC after a four-year hiatus, and I've got the XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT ready to go. I'm looking for feedback on my whole setup to see if anything seems way over or under powered. I'm a bit concerned I might be cutting corners on the motherboard. Here's the list of components I'm considering: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hBpdQd). Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Looks like some parts of your build are overkill for 1440p gaming. You could've saved some cash by going for more balanced options. Check out this build that’s faster and cheaper, which could have even gotten you closer to a 9070 GPU:
- Same CPU but better cooler
- A motherboard that works great for gaming but is lower in price
- Different RAM that's still powerful but more cost-effective
I appreciate the suggestions! I haven't picked up everything yet, just the GPU. I'll definitely look into these alternate options.
