Im not from the US and I do not have access to alot of the products suggested by reddit,
for example no access to the artic freezer, barely any access to any dual tower air fans(have nocuta but expensive),
no access to MSI/ASROCK motherboards, only gigabyte and asus.

purpose of the build is gaming, I am a web developer which doesnt require too much production capabilities but if they exist it doesnt hurt.

as for the CPU they are all expensive in my country these are the prices (I want a x3d cpu):

7900x3d (580$) vs 7800x3d (645$) vs 7950x3d (770$)

7950x3d felt to me the highest value per price but I may be wrong, Id like to hear your opinions about it.

Also Id really want to know if the PSU and motherboards are sufficient, Im not too sure i understand the whole VRM thing.

I could upgrade to the x670 if needed.

thank you very much

Please include the purpose for the build.

The power supply is overkill in advertised wattage. The vendor(Sapphire) recommends 750w for that model, and the recommendations are already exaggerated as is.
sorry I forgot, purpose is mainly gaming but production capabilities wont hurt, I may be able to take advantage of it in the future.
I guess I can drop the PSU to 1000W right? that will help my with the cost of the build, 1000W will still be on the safe side of things? Id want to take PSU with headroom so I wont have any problems

1000w is still overkill. And the headroom thing doesn't work, because psus age, wear and tear, like many other things. Output goes down, transient power spike, voltage droop, and other tolerances go down.
An 850w of that same model would still be plenty.

The two Ryzen 9 chips only have the vcache on one of their two CCXs, and are dependent on software/driver to work properly. Because of that, you can run into scenarios where the wrong CCX is being used. Though there are games out there that don't care about vcache, but just prefer faster cores, so if the software fails to switch over, it won't always be a detriment.

I'll vote 7800X3D, but if your work benefits from those extra core chips - I have no idea in that field - then 7950X3D.

The RAM in your build is geared for Intel. Look for a set of RAM that is AMD EXPO certified.
