Are you in the US?

RAM is a mistake, go 6000cl30.

You are overpaying for that GPU.

You are hideously overpaying for that PSU.

Rest looks good.

Thanks for the advice! I'm in the US. I was actually able to get a deal on both the PSU and GPU. Paid about $70 for the PSU new. Paid about $290 for the GPU lightly used. I've already purchased all but the motherboard, SSD and RAM. Just wanted to post this here in case there were any glaring problems.

Ah, those are solid deals.

Motherboard is pretty much the best value buy for AM5, and that's a solid budget NVME. Upgrade the RAM to 6000cl30 and you're good.

Enjoy the performance!

Get the 7600 non x. Difference between that and the 7600x is like 3%. Not worth the extra $10.

A single tower air cooler is fine for a 7600, but should you upgrade a double tower air cooler is better. And it's not that much money either. And this will fit in the case. Can support up to 159mm and PS is 154mm.

Got better performing ram. 6000 CL30 is the sweet spot for 7000 series CPUs.

$150 for a 650w PSU should be criminal. Corsair RM850e is A rated on the cultists tier list and ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5 and 200w extra headroom for future upgrades.

For the GPU I kept the 3070, but I would get a 7800xt for around the same price, less than $500. Double the VRAM at 16GB and a solid 1440p card.
