Hello everyone, I am going to build a PC. This for school and gaming, I want something I can use everyday and can handle heavy games no problem. I have a list of components I wanted to use, but I am not 100% sure if those are a good match, here is the list:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
CPU cooling: DeepCool LE720 Black
Motherboard: ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL36
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060
SSD: 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD
Case: DeepCool CG580 4F V2 Zwart
Psu: Cooler Master MWE Gold 550 V3
Thank you everyone for helping me out:)
Tips are always helpful( I am new to PC)

Is that the non-XT version of the RX 9060? If you can afford it, try to buy the 9060 XT 16GB (not the 8GB version).

Yes that's exactly what I wanted to buy, thank you for telling me

Looks good then. You might be able to save a little money by swapping the CPU for the 9600X.

You mea Ryzen 5?
aragorn18@reddit
Yes

Will it run differently since 6 cores instead of 8?
aragorn18@reddit
For most workloads, including games, it won't matter. Most applications don't need 8 cores.

I would avoid an ASRock motherboard for AM5, they have an issue with burned CPUs. It might not be a problem with the 7000 series of CPUs, but the 9000 series, especially X3D can have issues with ASRock motherboards and burn ups.
I would look at the 16GB memory version of that GPU, and the 7800X3D CPU if that can fit in your budget.

My budget is around $1600 is gigabyte a good brand for motherboards?

Not bad, I hope that is the 9060XT 16gb for the GPU but my main thing is the PSU I would try for a 750w at least as that would give u some room for upgrades later but an 850w unit is preferred

Yes it is the xt version, and thank you for the tip on the psu
