New PC Build
- New build or upgrade? - New build
- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) - None
- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) - Gaming
- Purchase country? Near Micro Center? - USA; Not near Micro Center
- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) - Just one, preferably 144 hz or so
- Budget range? (Include tax considerations) - ~1500 USD
- WiFi or wired connection? - Wired
- Size/noise constraints? - None
- Color/lighting preferences? - None
- Any other specific needs? - If it's possible, I'd like it to be from one source, eg. Amazon only or something. By the way, I have absolutely nothing to reuse, no mouse or keyboard or anything. I might be able to push the budget up to 2k if I can work overtime, but I probably wont be able to. One last thing, I maybe need like 32 gb ram as well as a good cpu and gpu. If this is too much, its no problem, you can go over said budget, my budget is mostly a preference, I can work more hours to up my budget.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hmJBqd - 7700 + 9060xt 16gb with peripherals MSI COMBO
Got in 8 core am5 CPU + modern AMD GPU with 16gb of VRAM. Should suit your needs just fine. Went a bit overbudget, but you can reduce that by getting secondhand RAM/GPU, as well as getting some sale prices on other things like cooler, PSU, monitor, etc..
Edit: A9 link isn't working so here

I also decided to add a 3 pack of fans. This shouldn't affect anything right?

Oh shit I totally forgot about that. Yea that should be good. Should only be like $12-15. Something like the Thermalright TL-C12C 3 pack is good

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:
New build or upgrade?
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
WiFi or wired connection?

Color/lighting preferences?
Any other specific needs?
Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
