I'm looking for some advice on this PC build I've put together with a budget of £1000. You can check the parts list here: [Build List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/J8Fwnp). Do you think this setup is worth it, or should I consider any changes?

Just a thought: for budget builds, it's often best to allocate half your funds to the graphics card. Skimping here could cost you more in the long run. If you want max gaming performance, think about starting with an RTX 5070. It could save you £400 for future upgrades. Also, here's another option: [RTX 5070 Build List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RBbnqH).
Be cautious with parts from Amazon! Some items come from 3rd party sellers, which could affect your warranty. Always check the seller's rating.
Your current build actually goes over £1,080, nearing £1,100. If you want to stay around the same price, you might want to consider using a 9700X and a 16GB 9060XT instead. Your 7700X could end up being a costlier option without real gaming benefits. Here’s a link to an alternative build: [Alternative Build List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XWZ4kf).
I took a look at your build and swapped out your RAM and GPU to fit a 9060 XT, which outperforms the 7600 XT you originally had. Overall, it looks pretty solid now!
Thanks for the feedback!
Just a heads-up, for AM5 builds, you should ideally use 6000CL30 or CL28 RAM. The 6000CL36 is slower with higher latency, which can affect gaming performance.
