I’m planning to build my first PC and I’ve got a budget of $940. Here are the specs I’ve chosen so far. Could you let me know if I’ve missed any components or if there are better options available?
– Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
– GPU: RTX 4060
– Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI
– RAM: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan 16GB (16GBx1) DDR5 6000MHz (Black)

– SSD: Ant Esports 690 Neo Pro 1TB M.2 NVMe
– Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BN 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze
– Cabinet: Ant Esports Crystal ARGB (Black)
Total cost is around $1004. Any suggestions?

I recommend using two 8GB sticks instead of just one 16GB. As games evolve, 16GB might not be enough in a year or two, especially for gaming. And remember, while RAM speed does help, it’s not the end of the world if you go for a slightly slower option if it fits your budget better!
What RAM speed do you think is ideal for gaming?
