The CPU we have suggested here is the Ryzen 5 9600X. It is an incredibly potent 6-core, 12-threaded Zen 5 CPU, which is more than sufficient for modern games. It easily surpasses the 13400F‘s gaming performance despite having fewer cores. We’ve suggested pairing it with a dual-channel DDR5 RAM kit from TeamGroup, running at 6000 MHz and supporting AMD’s EXPO, ensuring seamless compatibility.

The motherboard is the ASRock B850M Pro RS. It features a decent VRM, providing ample power to run the Zen 5 CPU at its 105W TDP. The cooler is the Peerless Assassin, a perfect budget combination for the 9600X. Storage-wise, we opted for the Gen 4 flagship, Samsung 990 PRO 1TB, which is extremely fast and more than sufficient for gaming.

The GPU is the RX 9060 XT, and the one we opted for is the Sapphire Pulse. It seamlessly surpasses the RTX 3070 Ti and RX 6750 XT GPU recommendations from Techland and offers 16GB VRAM. You can max out the game at 1440p, apply quality upscaling, and still enjoy high frame rates. The power supply is a Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600W. A budget 80+ gold-rated power supply, ensuring that your components get adequate power and run without risk of failure.
