I'm about to finalize my PC build at Micro Center after saving for a while. I've researched extensively and I'm aiming for a 'no regrets' setup, since it's my first PC build, and I want it to last for years without upgrades. Here's what I've selected:
* GPU: PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB Reaper Triple Fan
* CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D, 4.1 GHz 6 Cores 12 Threads 96MB L3 Cache
* RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB
* SSD: 4TB Gen4 Samsung 990 EVO Plus
* Motherboard: ASUS B650E-E TUF Gaming AM5
* Case: Montech XR ATX Mid-Tower
* PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular
* Cooler: Thermalright Frozen Notte 360mm Black ARGB Liquid Cooler AIO
Can anyone review these parts and let me know if they're a solid choice?

This build looks fantastic! I think you've made some great choices and shouldn't regret any of them. Just make sure you have good airflow in the case. Other than that, I say go for it!
Solid components all around! The Ryzen 7600X3D and the B650E motherboard are a perfect match. Just a heads-up though, the RAM pricing can be steep lately, but if you got a good deal, then that's awesome!
I actually snagged the RAM from eBay for $120, brand new. Pretty sweet, right?
Nice setup! I would recommend considering a different PSU, maybe the Montech Century II 850W if you're looking for a bit more power. Also, I’ve had some bumps with ASUS motherboards in the past, so look into alternatives if you can. But overall, if you already have it in a bundle, it’s fine!
Thanks for the encouragement! I’ll definitely keep an eye on the airflow.
