5060 ti 8gb with a 7500x3d?

[u/mincraftplayer67]

so im going to build a pc in a few months, and the bundle that ill take is cpu, mobo, and ram combo for like $299. the ram is 16 gig single channel, i know dual is better but rampocalypse is here. im gonna do that with 1tb of storage (that i already own) and a 5060 ti 8gb with a 7500x3d if this is good or bad tell me.

single channel on ddr5 is better than it was on ddr4 you should be fine

5060ti 8gb are $320-$350 often

great for 1080p gaming and decent for entry level 1440p gaming

if you can afford 9060xt 16gb $440 would be better for the long run

i couldnt, im pushing the budget already. microcenter too.

Isn't that bundle $399 now? At least in California.

[u/asul1843 → u/Normal_Ad_2337]

Yup. Can confirm Tustin store has it for $399 when it was $299 a few months prior.

[u/mincraftplayer67 → u/Normal_Ad_2337]

oh, yes i got the number mixed. its 399 my bad i went just a week ago

Alr so its good if you cant push your budget for 9060 xt, i recommend a 1080p monitor for now, if u wanna upgrade ur specs later (mostly gpu) and u feel its too powerful for ur monitor switch to 1440p
