I'm planning my first PC build and I've picked out some parts, but I'd love to get some feedback. Here's what I have in mind: a Ryzen 5 9600X CPU paired with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE cooler, 32GB of TeamGroup RAM at 6000MHz with a CL of 30, a Crucial P3 Plus 1TB SSD, and a Corsair RM750e 2025 PSU. For my GPU, I'm considering a 9060XT 16GB, and I'm looking at the Asus TUF Gaming B650-E WiFi motherboard. Any advice on this build before I make my purchase?

You're on the right track, but keep an eye on the SSD. The P3 Plus uses QLC NAND, which isn't as durable and can slow down over time. You might want to consider getting a drive with TLC flash, like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or something similar for better performance in the long run.
Overall, your parts look solid! It's tough for me to say if you're getting a great deal without knowing prices around you, but generally, these components provide good value. Just a heads up, the 9600X and 7600(X) have very similar performance—consider the 9600X only if it's only a slight price difference—around $15 or so is fine!
The price difference for me is about 15 bucks.
Ok thank you for the tip!
