New to PC builds: Is this a good build? Is it overkill?
Posted by Mr-360@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 3 comments
This is my first PC, so all parts will be new. Im looking to build a mid-range starter PC, with the flexibility to upgrade later on when (hopefully) prices for RAM drop.
Budget: \~ $1400.
This is my final draft of parts:
Visualized list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ysf4sK
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650 Plus Wi-Fi AM5 ATX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600x
GPU: Radeon RX 9060xt (16gb VRAM)
RAM: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 RAM 16gb (2x8GB sticks)
SSD: Kingston 1tb SSD M.2 NVMe | PCIe 4.0
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler
PSU: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 (750w. 80+ Gold)
Case: DARKROCK EC2 ATX mid-tower. 1 exhaust fan. 3 intake fans.
Country of purchase is USA.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a great midrange PC. If you have a microcenter within a reasonable driving distance, check out the CPU/motherboard/RAM combos on their website. It could save you several hundred dollar

Looks good

Looks solid. If you live near a MC there are some prebuilts around the $1200 mark with the same specs.
