I'm considering this PC build but haven't purchased it yet. Here's what I have so far: a Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU, MSI B850M-VC Pro WiFi motherboard, 16GB of G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 RAM, a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB cooler, a Crucial P310 1TB SSD, an ASRock Radeon RX 7600 8GB GPU, a Montech XR ATX Mid Tower Case, and a Cougar VTE 600W 80+ Bronze power supply. Any feedback?

Honestly, the RX 7600 isn't going to cut it for high-performance gaming. I recommend looking at a B580 motherboard instead, and definitely consider upgrading your power supply to something in the 650-750W range for future-proofing. There are Lian Li options out there that are great quality and might suit your needs better.
There are a few issues here. First, you're spending too much on RAM; you can find 16GB kits for around $200. Second, that RX 7600 is quite weak for what you're investing overall. You might want to look into a 7500F with an RX 6700 XT; that could give you better performance. Also, consider a more reliable PSU like the MSI MAG 550BN, which provides similar wattage at a decent price.
I made a build for you with some cost-saving options. I found a cheaper SSD and a better cooler along with a more robust PSU that allows for future upgrades; it's just about $10 more than your current setup. Check it out here: [link to build].
Thanks, I appreciate the suggestions! I'll definitely consider these options.
That setup looks like a solid CPU and memory bundle for a decent price. Definitely worth checking out!
