Hey,

I have not built a PC for a while and am looking to build a new one this month,

I have done a fair amount of research and come up with this build,

I want to game at 1440p Max settings - New AAA titles etc etc. I know the NZXT H1 V2 isn't the most cost-effective case but I am really excited to use it in the build and love the aesthetic so it's kind of a must. I think AM5 will be a good shout, especially in a case like this to enable me to easily drop in a new CPU or GPU in the future without having to remove the MOBO and RAM which should outlast those components(?!)
Any advice or criticism of the build components would be great!

RX7600 due to launch soon.

If you go with the 6700XT, consider the Sapphire Pulse variant
Yeah I did see that - Definitely would be worth holding out even if I do stick with the 6700XT I am sure it will see a price drop with some newer gens on the market - Do you think the 7600 would be comparable in performance to a 6700 - Guess no way in telling until initial reviews are out
 
The 6600XT was equivalent to the 5700XT....soooo make of that what you will.. My crystal ball is in for repairs.
