I'm looking for some advice on my PC build part list. Primarily, I'll be using it for gaming with some light picture and video editing. I know my GPU is a bit overpriced, but I have a source for a better deal. Check out my part list here: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Yv3jgn. Any tips or changes to enhance my list would be greatly appreciated!

It's not a bad build, but just a heads up that going for an all-white aesthetic can jack up the prices a bit. Also, I’m not a big fan of those fish bowl-style cases; they don't handle thermal performance well. The Montech cases are kind of iffy too, just FYI.
You might want to reconsider that 2TB HDD. It's quite slow and really only works well for bulk storage. For gaming and editing, it's better to have more solid-state storage or maybe go for a bigger HDD if you need space but avoid gaming off the slower drives.
The HDD is mainly for my photos and videos.
Overall, your parts look good, but I'd suggest swapping out that 9600X. It's overpriced and doesn’t perform much better than the 7600X or the 7500F. If you find a 7500F, it could be a great fit with the 5060Ti, but I get it if you're set on the 9600X.
I need an integrated GPU, so the 7500F won't work for me. The price difference with the 7600X is only about 10€ and I figured the 9600X was a safer bet.
I thought Montech cases were supposed to be alright. Any suggestions for a better case?
