I'm not sure if anyone has noticed any issues with this setup. I'm considering the 7600x versus 7700x and the CPU cooler. Regarding the RAM, it should work well for this configuration. After downgrading the CPU to 7600x and spending an extra 200 CAD on upgrading the GPU to 7900X, will there be a significant bottleneck that makes it unproductive? Also, I chose the Deepcool AK500 cooler because I want one that doesn't cover the RGB RAM. Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Your build looks solid. I’d suggest adding a smaller storage drive for the OS and app/launchers. The bigger one can serve as your game library.

Thank you very much! I'll include a smaller drive for the OS, please.

Adjusted for 7800X3D size, here is the revised version maintaining the original structure and details.
