I'm planning to build my first PC with the following components: a Ryzen 5 9600X CPU (I opted for this over the 7600F as it was around $50 cheaper and supposedly better), an ASUS Prime A620-Plus motherboard with Wi-Fi 6, an Apevia ATX-GX850W Gold certified PSU, a Thermalright Assassin X120 refined SE ARGB cooler, 32 GB of Silicone Power value DDR5 RAM, a KLEVV CRAS 1TB M.2 NVMe storage, a GAMDIAS ATX mid tower case, and an RX 6750XT GPU (which I plan to buy second-hand on eBay, so I didn't include its price). I'm looking for feedback on this build before I make any purchases. Any thoughts?

I think you've got a great base here! The Ryzen 5 9600X is a good choice, and it's nice to see you going for decent cooling with the Thermalright. Just make sure your case has decent airflow since it’s critical for keeping your components cool during gaming sessions!
Your CPU choice is solid for a budget build, but I wouldn't recommend that motherboard. It’s not the best quality and might limit your performance. Consider upgrading to a B650 board for better support and features. Also, ensure you're looking at a good quality GPU when buying second-hand!
Yeah, I agree with the motherboard suggestion. The B650 will give you much better expansion options down the line!
Definitely! And remember to check customer reviews for the case to see how well it performs with airflow.
