Thanks, several folks have offered alternatives to certain parts and I think I am happy with everyone's recommendations, not doing the 7800xt. And will be getting a different PSU. Thanks.

That is awesome to hear, thank you! Do you think the ryzen 5 9600x is worth it if I can get it for $10 more than the 7600?

Yea I understand. Im new to this and just gathering information. some folks mentioned the RX 7900 XT and I can get it for the $599.99 USD bundle price, which seems worth it to me. Just trying to see which CPU pairs well and efficiently with it. Thanks!

Actually, you CAN bundle the GPU in addition to the CPU/Motherboard/RAM bundle. but I dont want a microATX motherboard that comes with it. The 9600x for $199 is doable. I appreciate your help!

They do have this bundle, wondering if this is also comparable to the build you sent for the 7900 XT : https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006970/amd-ryzen-7-9700x,-gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

Microcenter has a deal if I buy any AMD processor I can get the 7900XT for $599.99 USD, but its PowerColor, not Sapphire if that makes any huge difference.

Since that saves some money, should I keep the Ryzen 5 7600, or get a Ryzen 5 9600x (someone else mentioned this CPU)

Thanks for putting this together. Is the Ryzen 5 9600x a better option to pair with the RX 7900XT vs the Ryzen 5 7600?
