Hello everyone!

Its that time for me! New computer parts have been announced with many others probably on the horizon. I have not done a system rebuild in way too long and its time. I am going to list a possible build that i threw together and am hoping the smarter minds can help me perfect it.
Build:

Cpu: Ryzen 7 7800x3d
Cooler: Deepcool Assasin IV ( this was just slotted in there, with the ryzen i should be able to get away with an air cooler but have always had Aios so am open to anything else)
Mobo: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX ATX AM5
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
Storage: Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Graphics Card: XFX Speedster QICK 319 Core Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card
Case:Lian Li LANCOOL 216 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case or Asus prime ap201
Power Supply: Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

my overall budget is probably 2500. With this list of parts i am well below that, but am also looking at a new 1440p monitor.


Additional Information:
I already have G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory in my possession. This ram was bought for me ahead of time by a friend who did not realize I was changing my build to the Ryzen chip. With that being said I could always get an intel CPU (i7-14700k) but i would prefer the 7800x3d. Is there anyway this ram can be used for the Ryzen chip or should i just return it and get the above (or other) ram. changing the cpu i would obviously have to change the mobo as well.

My focus for the computer is pure gaming. I play alot of fps games and choose higher fps over looks. That being said I have gradually started to play alot more single player games and MM0's where pure fps is not my top priority. Also i will be gaming at 1440p

Thanks in advance for any and all the information or recommendations.

Off the bat, the build looks fine, actually! I would just add a smaller capacity SSD for the OS, app's and launchers while the larger capacity drive is your game library.

my overall budget is probably 2500.
Where are you located(to understand your currency) and what is your budget for your build since you might have limitations in product availability, should users chime in with their suggestions as well)?

That ram should still work with the 7800x3d. You can check motherboard QVL list to make sure. Keep in mind that the 9800x3d is now out now and is even faster. Might have to wait for stock to show up though.
ill look into the Mobo QVL. As for the 9800x3d i looked at some performance benchmarks and a lot of reviews. it doesn't seem to be much faster. so my hope was people would buy it just to have new things or not do enough research and buy it thinking its way faster which would hopefully drop the 7800x3d in price.

7800x3d price went up due to low stock. For those not price gouging 3rd party sellers, price difference is only like $20 right now. I wouldn't bank on 7800x3d pricing dropping anytime soon.

I think its been decided. ima keep the ram i have since my mobo supports xmp. and even if there is an issue i will OC/tune it myself. hopefully price drops on the 7800x3d, probably will, but not by much. I also added a 990 pro 1tb m.2 and a western digital 1tb m.2. last consideration i really have is should i just stick with that deepcool air cooler or go with something else
