Looks good man. You make sure everything is compatible?

I know others on here may be able to give ya some tips. I just don't know about the power supply. It should be good enough, but I don't know what's recommended for a 4060.

One very pressing issue is you'll need DDR 5 RAM. Something around DDR5 6000 CL 30-36 would work well and shouldnt be too expensive. Make sure its noted as being optimized for AMD EXPO in the manufacturers description and it should be fine. Even better if its on the motherboard QVL list to be as close to 100% sure it will work out of the box as possible.


PSU is a decent cheap option, but I'd recommend spending a little more on something with at least a longer warranty.


Gives you room to expand later and much higher quality power to help your other parts last longer, dont cheap out on the PSU. Theres a reason anyone whos been into building for a while will tell you that.

Motherboard is on the lower end side, I'd prefer something a bit more solid, but I see youre saving money to put into headline parts, and its an OK board.

RTX 4060 is a decent option where its priced now. Assuming this is a build for gaming I would suggest dropping the CPU down to a Ryzen 5 7600 and using the 100 saved to get something more like this


In games you'd get a lot more performance out of putting the extra 100 into the GPU rather than the CPU.

No worries :)

Other than switching to the R5 7600 and spending that extra money on the GPU?

I wouldnt like to use a QLC drive without DRAM cache for a boot drive, QLC isnt as durable as TLC so wont last as long, and drives without a cache slow up a lot when they are full.


This is a better one with good reviews.

would this one be okay?

@em865 Here's another option to have a look at. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan. For a few quid more you can get that case with a window if that's what you fancy. btw pretty much all cpu coolers come with a small tube of decent thermal compound.
