I'm considering building my first PC and have picked out some components: a Ryzen 5 7600x CPU, an RX 9060 XT GPU, and a 2TB Crucial P130 SSD. I'm also planning to get the TR Peerless Assassin 120 CPU cooler and an MSI B850 Gaming Plus WIFI6E motherboard. I've already bought 32GB of DDR5 5200MHz RAM from eBay. For the case, I'll be using an office case from my school since they are replacing them, and for the PSU, I'm going with the Thermaltake Toughpower GT Snow 750W. I'll probably use a monitor from school as well, which is a 1080p 60Hz 27". What do you think of these specs?

Watch out for that office case! Many are proprietary and might not fit standard components. Also, using a 1080p 60Hz monitor with that setup seems like a waste since the PC should be able to push far more frames. But hey, it's free, so it might work out for now!
Make sure to grab the 16GB version of the RX 9060 XT. As for the MSI motherboard, you might want to consider avoiding the WIFI6E model. It’s had some downgrades compared to the non-6E version—like a slower Ethernet connection and a downgrade from PCIe5 to PCIe4. If possible, look into B650 boards; they offer a better value without these limitations.
Your specs look solid! Just be cautious about that office case; they often have limited compatibility. I’d suggest checking the PSU against a tier list to ensure it’s at least tier C or higher for reliability.
