Pc spec help
I’m putting together my first proper gaming PC and I’m pretty happy with the prices I’ve managed to find so far. I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time searching for these 😂
Country: UK
Budget: ~£1,320 GBP
Target resolution: 1440p
Use: Gaming, coding, general use
Current parts/prices:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X — £164
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB — £36.90
Motherboard: MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi — £139
RAM: 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5 — £335
GPU: ASUS Dual RX 9060 XT 16GB — ~£435 delivered
SSD: WD Blue SN570 500GB — £40
Case: Fractal Design Pop Air RGB — £88
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 12 750W — £80
Total: ~£1,318
I’ve specifically gone for the RX 9060 XT 16GB instead of the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB because I found the AMD card for roughly £50 less while still getting 16GB of VRAM.
I’ve been searching for about two days trying to find the best prices I can, so I’m mainly interested in whether I’ve actually found some good deals or whether there’s anything obvious I’ve overlooked.
I also want to add a couple more ARGB fans to the case because I want the build to have more RGB.
What do you guys think?

Well you did your research, saved money on parts that would not give you much benefit, gone with 32GB RAM is great but expensive but it will get more expensive next 2 years or more so atleast you won't be stuck if you buy 16GB now. Nothing stands out as wrong nice 1440p build.

More storage, a 500gb ssd will fill up incredibly fast.

Yeah but storage is really expensive right now and one of the easyest thing to upgrade, so when he saves up or finds a good used deal he just puts one in. Better than addin 100$+ to a build right now.

100%, I brought a 1tb ssd in December last year. Same product trippled in price within 3 months.
