Just purchased a new pc after my old one's gpu died and its a pretty old system. Bought a new system for 1500$ here are the specs
CPU=Ryzen 5 5600x
RAM=Ripjaws G.Skill 2x16 3200 Mhz
GPU=Zotac RTX 3060ti AMP White Edition
PSU=Corsair TX750M 80+ Gold
CASE=Cougar MX-410 RGB
HDD=2x1TB Toshiba
SSD=1x240GB Sandisk Plus + 1X500GB Samsung 970 Plus 500GB
CPU COOLER=Arctic Freezer 34 Duo White
MOBO=MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus

I just want to ask. Im going to migrate from a RX-570/i7 4770 build to this and i want to ask some questions. I want to game at 1080p 60+ Fps. Is this a good build and will it last a long time? I wont mind turning settings after years.

Looks fine to me, yes you could have gone with the Ryzen 5600 which should be cheaper, but maybe it's not available yet in your country and in the end it's not that much cheaper, about $30 maybe.
About the gpu cannot say how long it lasts, is a matter of what games you play, it is a good one for 1080p so just enjoy.
Guess the hdd's/ssd's are from the old pc. If they work well fine again.

For $1500 No it is not. You can Ryzen 5-5600X + RTX 3070 Ti + 32GB (2 x 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz) + 1TB NVME SSD High quality PC.

Far better than that 3060 Ti gaming Rig.

Greece, 1500euros i put dollar in the beginning it was my bad. This build will arrive in a week and i just want to know if i did a good job and if it will last a long time for 1080p gaming.
For reference a 3070ti here costs 800 euros minimum and i got the 3060ti for 610.

Yes, it seems like a good system to me, and will likely do quite well at 1080p for some years to come. The 3060 Ti is arguably more of a 1440p card as far as current AAA games are concerned, so it should have plenty of GPU performance to spare for future titles. And when some titles eventually start to prove too much for it at native 1080p, you can always make use of newer upscaling tech like DLSS and FSR to get a bit more performance out of it with a minimal impact on visuals. And of course, "high" settings usually look nearly indistinguishable from "ultra" settings, and can in many cases boost performance by a decent amount. The 5600X will also likely remain quite capable for a while.

I would hardly say a 3070 Ti is "far better" than a 3060 Ti, especially if they are only targeting 1080p60. At that resolution, a 3070 Ti only averages around 15% higher framerates in most of today's games, and maybe around 20-25% more performance in graphically demanding games at higher resolutions. And unless they have a high refresh-rate 144+Hz screen, even a 3060 Ti is probably overkill for the time being. On a 60Hz 1080p screen, the experience with both cards would be virtually identical in practically all of today's games, and it's probably not worth paying a couple-hundred dollars extra for more GPU than you need at a time when graphics cards are in short supply and their prices are significantly inflated.

About the only thing that I would have done differently would be the storage. Two 1Tb hard drives, a 240GB and a 500GB SSD seems like a lot of unnecessary drives. I would have just gone with a single 1TB SSD for the OS, applications and games, and a single, larger capacity hard drive for bulk storage. Or if the second HDD is being used for backups, I would go with at least 2TB drives, as the price-per-gigabyte tends to be better with those. Though storage is something that can always be upgraded in the future.
 
Why do you even want to know, he says he already got the pc and he could have done alot worse.
To know the limitations OP had. Different countries have different prices for components specially GPU prices are not consistent around the world. Hence wanted to know if in context to what he had set as his budget and where he lives it was good or not. I cannot simply jusdge a PC based on US price if it was purchased in some other country and with set local currency right. Hence I asked.
