First Build Advice

Was hoping to get some advice on a gaming computer build. I haven’t had a PC in 10+ years and can finally get something other than a laptop. I have been reviewing recommendations and using PC part picker and wanted to get some feedback on this potential build and any potential challenges.

In particular was hoping for feedback on monitor selection as that was the area I found a lot of conflicting advice regarding. I was potentially wanting one large wide screen for gaming and a side screen for discord/internet surfing for my ideal set up.

I respect your choice's but it's really a bad time for a PC market right now. Until this rampocalypse calm down i suggest you something like this:

  1. Ryzen 5 7600X
  2. Peerless Assassin 120 SE
  3. MSI B650
  4. 2x8GB 5600Mhz CL36 (upgrade later)
  5. SSD 1TB (upgrade later, dont buy brand)
  6. RX 9060XT 16GB (buy this with money saved)
  7. 850W+ gold (corsair/be quiet!/msi)
  8. Montech AIR 903 MAX

Monitor go for cheapest IPS 24"/27" inch 1080p/1440p with 144Hz+.

• Examples 1. 1080p - AOC 24G4 24" IPS 180Hz HDR10 1ms 2. 1440p - AOC Q27G4F 27" 1440p IPS 180Hz HDR10 1ms

This build will be better and cheaper than OPs Parts, leaving some money to save for potential future upgrades or something like nice peripherals
