I'm helping my friend upgrade from a system with a GTX 1650, and we're looking at a new build around $2,500 AUD. I want to know if there are any tweaks or improvements I can make to this setup: [PCPartPicker Link](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/7h6nVF). Any suggestions?

Honestly, this looks like a solid build for the budget! You’ve pretty much nailed what I would suggest for a $2.5k AUD gaming rig. Nice work!
Are you planning to reuse any parts from the old build, or is it going to be a completely new setup? That could change a lot in terms of what you should pick for this build.
It's a fresh build, no parts from the old one!
I found a build that's better and cheaper, check it out: [PCPartPicker List](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/kzkcKq). It includes an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and a really solid RX 9070 XT—all for under $2,500! Plus, it's got a well-reviewed PSU.
Looks good! I think the Ryzen 5 would give some awesome performance for gaming.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
