Hi. I've been saving up and I'll be buying all the parts next moth (Or in December), so I wanted to ask for feedback as this will be my first PC build ever. Here's the list I've come up with:

I want to know if the CPU won't be a bottleneck in the nearest future (If I should spend 60eur more on R5 3600 plus a cooler) and if the monitor's not overkill. I wanted to get a really good one outright, since I don't have one and this had a really good color accuracy and peak brightness, plus it could get a price drop soon as an updated version is coming (FI27Q).

I would be playing both AAA games and online ones as well. From what I checked RX 5700 XT should run AAA titles on 60+ fps on 1440p.

First thing i notice is the PSU.

The PSU is a critical Part of a Gaming PC, so you should go for Tier 1 Gold 80+

And in case you dont know. When you install the RAM, make sure you put it in Slots 1+3 or 2+4.

Ty, so I'll change it to Corsair TX550 550W, it's rated as "80+ Gold" and costs the same. Regarding the RAM slots, I've seen that in build videos, but I'll deffo keep it in mind!
