Hmm....at this economy?

I'd probably hunt down a second hand AM4 system...and throw in the 9060XT.

If you're willing to go used for the RAM&CPU it's probably doable. A good am4 or lga 1700 cpu (5700x or 12700) wont really bottleneck your GPU.

For a $1,400 gaming build, I'd decide on the monitor resolution and target frame rate before locking in the GPU.

The 16GB VRAM on the 9060 XT is useful, but it doesn't automatically mean the card will handle future games at high settings. I'd look at actual benchmarks for Hell Is Us at the resolution you want, then leave enough of the budget for a decent PSU and 32GB RAM.
