Hey everyone! I've built a PC for about €1500 here in Belgium, and I'm hoping to get it to run games in 4K at 60Hz on my monitor. I don't really play competitive games, so I just want decent performance for titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Ark: Survival Evolved/Ascended. Here's my build:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Motherboard**: ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi
- **Memory**: Crucial Pro Overclocking 32 GB DDR5
- **Storage**: Crucial P3 Plus 2 TB NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070 XT
- **Case**: NZXT H5 Flow
- **Power Supply**: Cooler Master MWE Gold 850W
Any suggestions on changes? Will this setup run smoothly on those games?

Your setup might just be enough to handle 4K gaming, especially considering the RX 9070 XT. You should give it a shot and see how it performs!
As for your build, I would advise steering clear of Asrock motherboards because there have been reports of issues with them frying Ryzen 9000 CPUs. It’s a precaution worth taking!
With the RX 9070 XT, you should be able to run Cyberpunk at 4K on ultra settings at around 50 fps. If you enable FSR, it could bump you up to 70 fps without sacrificing graphics quality. Ark: Survival Evolved should run well since it's older, but Ascended has performance issues even on high-end cards, so be wary of that.
Honestly, your build looks solid! It should get you 120 fps in most games at 4K without much hassle.
Yeah, I've heard that too! Definitely better to play it safe with the motherboard choice.
