What are your thoughts on this gaming PC build?
Hello,
I’m planning to purchase some parts for a desktop I’ll build myself. It will mainly be used for gaming and software like ArcGIS Pro. I’ve selected the following components so far. Could you please share your thoughts and any suggestions? I aim to stay within a budget of around 1600-1800 CAD, which is currently at 1640 CAD. I don’t have a CPU cooler yet, but I’m considering using the master fan from my old system. What do you think? Thanks.
Here are the components:
Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case, Black, CC-9011210-WW
MSI PRO X870-P WIFI AM5 AMD X870 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Motherboard
MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x8 ATX Video Card RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G OC
Seasonic FOCUS V3 GX-750, 750W 80+ Gold, ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 Ready, Full-Modular, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 10 Year Warranty
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - Zen 4 6-Core 4.7 GHz - Socket AM5 - 105W Desktop Processor (100-100000593WOF)
G.SKILL Flare X5 Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5
Microsoft Windows 11 Home (USB)
I'm just briefly reviewing your post and may return later with a more detailed response.
Though, I'd like to note that I might consider opting for a 4070 instead of the 4060 and selecting a lower-end motherboard.

Thank you for your build. How did you feel about it? Was it necessary to purchase the video card I recommended rather than the one you selected? Would the changes be significant? Could you also play recent games with the one you chose?
I made some adjustments to reduce unnecessary parts so the GPU can handle higher resolutions. This 4060 should work well for gaming at 1080P.
