Hi! This is my first time building a pc so i dont really have much knowledge on the topic and needed some advice regarding my list of pc parts, which i compiled with some research i did myself, before i go ahead and buy parts and heavily regret my decisions later. This is my list:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler
Thermal Compound: ARCTIC MX-6 4 g Thermal Paste
Motherboard: MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
Memory: Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory
Storage: Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 PCle 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Pop Air ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA 750 GQ 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan: 5x ARCTIC P12 Pro 77 CFM 120 mm Fan
My budget is 1500 usd but itd be awesome if i got similar parts for less. I dont need any peripherals or monitors. I just want a pc for playing games like stalker 2, helldivers 2, warhammer 40k: space marine 2, elden ring nightreign (stuff like that) and be able to get smooth 60+ fps on ultra/high settings, 1440p, with or without fsr and no ray tracing. Oh and im trying to get these in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Im looking for quality products from reputable brands.
My questions are:
- Is this build balanced and are all parts completely compatible?
- Are there any issues with it at all and any improvements i could make?
- Are there any better alternatives for any parts in this list for a similar price or any similar parts for a cheaper price?
Id really appreciate it if some people could bless me with their knowledge.

The CPU cooler ships already with Themal Paste, so it's not needed The Supernova GQ released 2016, so I think you already have it. If that's the case it's fine, otherwise I wold recommend getting something more recent. I would also recommend a 9600X over a 7600X if it's only slightly more expensive. The case only supports up to 5 fans and usually ships with 3 preinstalled. So I don't understand why you would want to buy 5 case fans. If the case has three fans preinstalled, you don't need them at all.

i didnt know the cooler came with paste and case with fans. like i said, im new (plus i didnt really bother checking that). i guess its fine as like backup tho. thanks.

If you’re looking to save some money you could get a B650 instead of a B850, but it depends on what’s available where you live

prices for both were kinda similar so i went with b850 for future proofing

If you can find another CPU like 7800x3d or 9800x3d even better.
