I'm looking for some feedback on my current PC build! Here's what I have planned:
- 5060 Ti for $380
- B650M WIFI motherboard for $160
- MSI MAG FORGE 321R AIRFLOW case for $70
- 1TB SSD GEN4 XPG for $100
- APEVIA GALAXY 850W power supply for $67
- COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 cooler for $26
- RYZEN 5 9600X processor for $184
- CRUCIAL RAM 32GB (2x16) for $326
Total cost: $1,313. I'd love to know if you think it's a good build or if there's anything I should change!

Are you near a Microcenter? They usually have great deals that could save you some money!
You should definitely consider upgrading your power supply. Get one that’s rated highly on the tier list if you can. It's worth the investment for your build!
It looks solid overall, but you didn’t mention if you’re going for the 8GB or 16GB version of the 5060 Ti—make sure it's the 16GB for better performance. Regarding your RAM, any decent RAM should work fine right now; just consider speeds and latency. Also, I’m not very familiar with Apevia power supplies, so you might want to check a tier list for reliability. If you’re trying to cut costs, you could save around $20 on the motherboard too.
Honestly, you could build a better system with an AM4 setup using DDR4, which might give you a stronger GPU and an 8-core CPU. If you're set on DDR5, I recommend spending a bit more on the motherboard since it'll help with future upgrades. But as it stands, it looks like a decent midrange setup!
