I've been planning to build my first gaming PC for a while now, and I followed a guide to create my build. I also added my own flavor with the choice of the case. I'm looking for your feedback! Is this build solid? Are there any improvements you would suggest? I'm curious if it can be optimized. Some parts on my list might be out of stock, but they're available in my area. Here's the list if you're interested: [PC Part Picker Link].

You might want to consider a power supply with a lower wattage. You could save some cash there and put it towards a full ATX motherboard instead!
Are you close to a Microcenter? They sometimes have better deals on parts!
Overall, it's a solid build! If the price is close, I'd suggest checking out the 9600X instead of the 7600X. If there's a big difference in cost, the 7600X should work just fine.
Another option is the non-X version of the 7600. You might even get a basic CPU cooler for free with that!
Consider adding a larger or additional M.2 SSD if you're planning to play a variety of games. I've got a 16GB 9060XT, and it's great. By the way, what monitor are you planning to get?
Just a heads up, make sure to check how much wattage you really need for your setup.
