I'm wondering if anybody sees anything wrong with this build? I'm debating between the 7600x and 7700x, and the cpu cooler.

I'm also wondering if the ram will be good for this build. Also if I save 130cad by downgrading my cpu to 7600x and spending an extra 200cad to upgrade my GPU to 7900xtx will there be a large enough bottleneck that would make it pointless?

Also I select d this cooler because I would like a cooler that doesn't cover the RGB ram if possible. Thank you very much to anyone who has advice.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Looks like your build listed above is good to go! I'd try and shoehorn another storage drive, one that's smaller in capacity and used for the OS and app's/game launchers. The larger drive can be used as your game library.

Thank you very much! I'll add a smaller drive for the os I appreciate it.
 
Did some tweaking to fit in a 7800X3D:
