Quick questions - do you want a discrete quiet GPU (better for gaming) or would you prefer to rely on integrated graphics to keep noise and cost down, and are there any firm size constraints (mATX/mini-ITX) or a specific noise target you’re aiming for?

Thanks for asking!! I’d prefer a discrete GPU since I want decent 1080p gaming performance, but I also want to keep the build quiet. I’m flexible on case size as long as it’s not huge, and ideally I’d like the fans to be barely noticeable under normal use. Low noise is more important than squeezing every dollar of performance.

Looks like a really solid $1200 build . The i5-13400F + 32GB DDR5 and 1TB Gen4 NVMe are right on point, and the NZXT H5 Flow
gives you great airflow. The RX 7700 XT is a sweet spot for 1440p, but if you care about ray tracing/DLSS, stretching to something like the ASUS TUF RTX 4070 SUPER
could be worth it.

Between B660 and B760, both work fine, just grab the board with better VRMs/features for the price. Only other tweak I’d suggest is bumping PSU to a 750W Gold (Corsair RM750e) for extra upgrade headroom. Otherwise, you’re in great shape. I added some links below!!

How long do you plan to keep this build before upgrading again? That could make a big difference in whether Option A or B is smarter long-term.

Good question! I’m hoping to keep this build for at least 4–5 years without major upgrades. Gaming is my main focus, but I do want to stream occasionally, so I don’t want it to struggle there either. That’s why I’m torn.. 

Thanks for clarifying! I’d lean toward Option A. The extra CPU cores and 32GB of RAM will give you more longevity and smoother multitasking when streaming or running background apps while gaming. Option B is solid for now, but you might find yourself needing upgrades sooner, especially if games keep getting more and more demanding.

Can I ask why you chose that PSU? You're going to have issues with that card and CPU with that PSU. Minimum wattage should be 700.

What do you recommend instead at a higher wattage? I'd like some headroom in case I want to upgrade something in the future.

Hey man. Sorry for the delayed response. Holidays and all. If you are concerned about future proofing and need higher headroom then go with 1000 Watt. That's my go to and you can't go wrong.

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!
