Build Opinions for 1080p Gaming

I’m putting together a build mainly for 1080p gaming at high settings. My budget is around $900–$1000, but I’d love to keep it closer to $900 if possible. 

Here’s what I’ve been thinking so far:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
  • GPU: Radeon RX 6750 XT or RTX 4060 Ti (can’t decide)
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5 (2x16GB, 6000MHz)
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
  • PSU: 650W Gold
  • Case: Something with good airflow (still open here)

I’d love opinions on:

  • Best GPU for price/performance at 1080p.
  • Any bottlenecks I might run into.
  • Suggestions for a solid but affordable case.

Thanks!

Hey! That looks like a solid starting point. For 1080p, I’d actually lean a bit more toward the RTX 4060 Ti if you want really smooth frame rates in newer AAA titles. It should handle high settings comfortably and give you some room for the next few years.

Some tweaks I’d suggest:

  • RAM: 16GB DDR5 is usually enough for 1080p gaming, so you could save a bit here unless you also plan on streaming or heavy multitasking.
  • Case: Fractal Meshify C or NZXT H510 are both solid airflow options without breaking the bank.
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD is perfect, but if you need more space, consider adding a 2TB HDD for mass storage of media and older games.

Overall, the build looks great!!

Here are a few thoughts I had about your build. Firstly, the CPU - Ryzen 5 7600 is perfect! The PSU - 650W Gold is plenty, but if you think you might upgrade the GPU in a couple of years, you could go 750W for some extra headroom... Lastly with cooling - stock cooler on the Ryzen 5 7600 is okay, but a small aftermarket cooler (options below) could help keep temps lower and reduce fan noise! Either GPU will crush 1080p gaming, just pick based on price and what’s available. The rest of the build seems well-balanced!
