Hey everyone! I'm diving into building my first gaming PC and could really use some advice on choosing the right components while staying within budget. Here's what I'm planning to use so far: a Gigabyte RTX 3060 TI OC for the GPU, a Ryzen 5 7500F for the CPU, an MSI B650M B motherboard, 16GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR5 RAM (one stick for now but I'll add more later), a Corsair MP300 NH 1TB SSD, and an MSI MAG 27F 27-inch 180Hz monitor. I'm also considering the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360mm AIO cooler and a Corsair CV750W Bronze power supply. What do you think about these choices?

Using a 360mm AIO cooler for the 7500F is probably overkill. I’d recommend switching to a solid single tower air cooler. It’ll save you some cash for a better power supply since a gold-rated PSU would be a smarter investment for stability.
Should I ditch the 7500F for a better CPU and get a 240mm AIO cooler instead? I've heard it can run hot, and I want to overclock it.
