Hey everyone! I'm working with a budget of $1500, and I've managed to put together a PC build that totals around $1300 after tax. Can you take a look at my components and let me know if everything looks good or if I should make any changes?

If you're mainly gaming, I recommend switching to the 7600X3D bundle. It’s about 20% faster than the 7700X, especially if you're only using one stick of RAM. Using a single stick can really hurt your performance, sometimes by up to 30% in certain games. Also, consider switching to the Phantom Spirit 120 cooler instead of the Peerless Assassin 140. It performs just as good but is typically cheaper! Plus, you likely won't need to buy extra thermal paste since most coolers come with enough for several installations.
I checked the total after tax for your build, and it's about $1335.86, so pretty close to your budget. Just a heads up that you could save some cash by finding a cheaper PSU and possibly a fan as well.
Your build should work fine! But have you thought about whether you really need an 850W PSU if you're only using about 300W? Maybe consider a lower wattage PSU to save a bit more?
