I've been wanting to build my own PC for a couple of years and I finally saved up enough money! After doing a lot of research, I've put together a build that I'm excited about. My budget is around $1500, although I can stretch it to about $1700 if needed. I'm aiming for something that can handle 4K gaming really well. Here's what I'm planning to use:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (6-core, 12-thread, AM5, DDR5 only)
- **GPU**: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 GRE 16GB (Black with RGB)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 AORUS Elite AX (DDR5, WiFi 6E, black-themed)
- **RAM**: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL32 – Black
- **SSD**: Kingston KC3000 1TB NVMe Gen4 M.2 (7000MB/s, black PCB)
- **PSU**: Corsair RM750x 750W (Fully Modular, 80+ Gold, Black)
- **Case**: Phanteks XT Pro Ultra (Black, 4x 140mm fans, mesh front, USB-C 3.2 Gen2)
- **CPU Cooler**: Deepcool AK620 Black (Zero Dark Edition, twin tower air cooler)
Could anyone offer some advice on potential changes or let me know if this setup might have any issues? Thanks!

How much are you planning to pay for that RX 7900 GRE? I've seen them difficult to find, but it should sit around $800 if you can get your hands on one.
Your build looks solid, though keep in mind you might not get insane FPS at 4K. If that doesn't bother you, go ahead! Also, if you're thinking about future upgrades, consider bumping your PSU to at least 850W just to be safe. Otherwise, 750W should suffice if you plan to keep it as is.
I think I'm definitely looking at future upgrades, so I’ll consider an 850W PSU.
Oh, and just to throw it out there, you mentioned your budget is flexible. If you can, I'd recommend stretching it to around $1700 for more options in parts that may enhance performance.
Yeah, I've had some trouble finding one online, but from my research, it seems like it should be about $800.
