Hey everyone! I've spent the last couple of weeks researching components for my first PC build and I'd really appreciate your thoughts on it. Here's what I've got so far:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X
- GPU: MSI Shadow 3X OC 5070
- Motherboard: MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi ATX
- CPU Cooler: Thermalright PS 120 SE
- RAM: TEAMGROUP TCREATE DDR5-6000 CL30
- SSD: WD 7100 1TB
- Case: Phanteks XT Pro
- PSU: MSI MAG A-750GL
The total cost is around $1350. I'm open to any suggestions on improvements! Cheers!

Your specs are pretty similar to mine, except I went with the 9060XT for my GPU. You're definitely on the right track!
I have a suggestion for you! I found a cheaper and better quality power supply and a motherboard that does the same job for less. Check it out here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rMzMsp. Maybe consider switching to those?
Looks solid! It's pretty similar to my setup, minus the CPU and motherboard. If there's a Micro Center near you, check out their 9600X bundle – just keep in mind it’s not the B850 you’re looking at!
Nice build overall! Just a quick note: the 5070 has 12 GB of VRAM, but you might want to look at the 9070 or 9070 XT instead. They have 16 GB of VRAM and offer better performance.
Looks good to me! Can't wait to see how it performs!
Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it but I'm a bit biased against Gigabyte motherboards, so I thought MSI would be a better choice for me.
