Upgrading to AM5 this year, how are these parts looking?

Currently running a 5600 + 6750XT, mainly play Battlefield 6 in 1440p. Hoping to improve graphics quality and a boost to fps. I'm buying all the parts from the same store as there's a major sale next month in my country (like a black Friday type) plus they build and ship for basically free.
Parts:
CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X
Mobo: MSI B840M Gaming Wifi6E Micro-Atx
Cooling: Deepcool LE240mm V2
RAM: 1x16GB 6400mhz @ CL32 Kingston Renegade
Storage: 1TB WD Green NVMe 4200mb/5000mb read-write
GPU: XFX 9070 Swift 16GB (maybe XT if in stock)
Case: Deepcool CG330 3F white
PSU: Deepcool PL750D
Yes it's a white build and ideally I would get 2x16GB but ram prices...
With the expected discounts it adds up to $1,230ish USD.

The only thing I’m sceptical of is running BF6 on a single stick of 16GB RAM. Yes DDR5 doesn’t see as much of a performance hit as DDR4 by running a single stick but it is also a RAM hog. I haven’t tried running a single 16GB stick with BF6 but as your objective is higher fps and higher settings I have some doubts. It’s also known that X3D CPU’s are less impacted by a single stick of RAM, can you fit a 7500X3D or 7800X3D into the budget?

Only the 7800X3D is available, at double the price of the 7600X so not really viable. Hopefully in a month ram prices lower just a bit to get the full 32GB kit.

How much would the x3d be?
Eduardo_89@reddit (OP)
$450 for the X3D and 240 for the 7600X

Whaaat i can get a brandnew 9800x3d for around 400 here
NeelieG@reddit
Try sacing up for xa x3d and 2x16gb ram Also why would you go with a micro atx?
Eduardo_89@reddit (OP)
Have always used m-atx, don't need anything bigger honestly.

Aight, if you have space I would suggest atx, better vrms (not guaranteed tho) and tends to run cooler
