Question Is this a good value pc for a sub $1600 USD?

[Foyezes]

Planning on buying these parts. I live in the middle east so some pc parts like gpus are a bit more expensive here. I put together a list of components and I want to know if it's a good value for a sub $1600 build.

CPU: i5 13500 (~$275)
MOBO: GIGABYTE B660 AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 (~$220)
GPU: PNY RTX 3060 ti (~510)
CPU COOLER: Corsair H150 RGB 360mm AIO (~$125)
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 32GB (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz (~145)
STORAGE: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB (~136)
PSU: Cooler Master MWE 750W BRONZE V2 (~72)
CASE: Corsair iCUE 465X Black (~82)

Not sure if the AIO is overkill but wanted to be safe... and I also like the rgb to match with the case.

Your not overpaying if that's what your asking and the AIO is not overkill.

Considering the area you are getting parts from I think you did a great job. Its typically hard to get decent PSUs in the middle east and surrounding areas. That PSU should get the job done.

Not bad, but if you can get a 6700xt/6750xt, for less, I would do so, unless you really want, or have a need, for Nvidia features. It's a bit faster, on average, than a 3060ti, and has more vram. 980 pros are nice, but if you can score a Crucial P5 plus, for a good discount, it would be a solid choice too. The AIO is a bit overkill, for a 13500, but that isn't a bad thing.

Not available where I live. Does it have the same performance as the AK620 from DeepCool?

My main focus is 3d rendering. So I have no choice but to go for an nvidia gpu. Also amd gpus aren't cheaper than nvidia here. The 6600 costs more than the 3060.

The AK620 is one of the best air coolers, on the market, right now.
