$2000 build budget with AMD 7950 & RTX 4079. Any thoughts, comments or concerns?

As the title says I have a build budget of $2K and wanna know what y'all think of my current setup. Pretty much ripped it from Zach's Tech Turf's Youtube video. I'd also like to go mini RTX if that's viable, for a more compact footprint on my desk. Let me know your thoughts!

I would say something like these is better for the money. the 7950 is not necessary unless you're just balling out. You can go the AIO route if you want but it's not necessary either. ITX can be complicated depending on your intention, ITX boards can get expensive quick, fitting parts can be an issue and don't have much expansion, if this is your first ever build I would not do ITX.

I actually can't find a 7800 in stock anywhere that isn't being massively uncharged like on eBay. Besides that I don't intend on upgrading again within the next long while so the 7950 will just future proof me a little further.
The AIO was mostly a placeholder since I just copied a YouTube guy. Was just gonna pick something else later when I began shopping
You're saying I should replace the NVDIA? Even if it's not much more expensive than the gigabyte?
This would actually mark my 2nd pc build. I'm currently using 5 year old $800 budget build

whatever floats your boat, it's your money.
The build you listed has a reference/founders RTX 4070 which at that price you'd have to be a rube to pay, even for a reference model. The Nvidia build I gave you has a GIGABYTE RTX 4070ti SUPER a card that's almost 2 tiers up. The other build has a 7900XTX that competes with the RTX 4080 Super.
Mini ITX have their caveats and headaches that I listed above, if you don't mind these are really want the smaller footprint, go ahead though again you may have to make some performance sacrifices to balance the budget.

If mini RTX is a viable option what boards should I look at?
