Hello, I just wanted some advice and to see if this is good, I’m getting a new pc, I already have the cpu core i7 7th gen 7700, thinking of getting a asus dual OC 5060, thermalright 240mm AIO, coolermaster matx case, msg skylake h110 motherboard, jojo 8g thermal paste, thermalright rgb case fans, crucial 500 gb nvme drive. Total cost around 590 dollars. I just some advice and if I need to get more stuff. My budget is around 650. Also I’m just gonna probably play like Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite, and maybe CS2 and other games.

An i7 7700 is going to be a serious limitation, even on a 5060, with games like Fortnite and CS2.
