Hey everyone. I'm putting together a new PC recently and only really want to focus on two games: WoW and Tarkov. Since I'm on a tighter budget, I was wondering if my current setup would be sufficient for around 2k at 60fps?

Please let me know if you think anything needs adjusting. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Someone has a strong affinity for NZXT. If you choose a white PC case, it makes sense to match with a white build as well. For example, this sleek, clean white appearance: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($197.98 @ Newegg) CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB 78.02 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($273.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: NZXT N7 B650E ATX AM5 Motherboard ($279.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory ($109.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD ($169.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: Sapphire PURE Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card ($539.99 @ Newegg) Case: NZXT H9 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case ($159.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS GX-750 ATX 3.0 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.99 @ Amazon) Total: $1821.91 Shipping, taxes, and any available discounts are included Generated by PCPartPicker 2024-05-15 04:58 EDT-0400 Most adjustments involved swapping colors for a white aesthetic, which slightly raised the cost (after all, eye candy matters). Key updates: SSD – At the same price point, the 990 Pro offers better performance than the 980 Pro. Comparison: https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compa...g-...vsm1961729 RAM – Identical 2x 16GB kit, but increased speed to 6400 MT/s and reduced cost. GPU – Added a $40 upgrade for a fully white look; otherwise, a black GPU would clash with the clean theme. PSU – Hidden behind the motherboard tray, it remains unnoticed. Cheaper than NZXT models yet maintains solid quality. For a completely white setup, consider Corsair RM750 White (PCPartPicker link). AIO and motherboard swaps are also made to match the white theme. Use this configuration as a reference if you aim for a white interior in a white case. By the way, the RX 7800 XT performs well over 60 FPS at 1440p resolution; however, enabling Ray Tracing reduces its advantage. Source:
For a similar price, you might find a much quicker video card and configuration available:

You could also opt for a 7900 GRE, which will save you a significant amount of money. It’s usually a superior choice compared to the 7800XT and should justify the additional cost.
The AIO you chose is not only unnecessary but also very costly for the performance you’re getting. If you need an AIO, the Arctic LFIII is likely the most suitable option considering AMD pricing and quality.
Here are some alternative DRAM choices:
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
When thinking about cooling on a limited budget, have you looked into the Thermalright air coolers? For instance, the peerless assassin 120se in white with RGB fans is available on Amazon for around 35 dollars. I’m currently using one on my 12600kf and it works well. It could be useful to explore a bit more within your budget for a better GPU such as the 7900gre, as suggested.
