Looks like a nice rig. My only suggestion would be to bump up the wattage on the psu. The RX 7800 XT suggests a minimum of 750W - but it's always good to have some spare headroom for overclocking, etc. Plus, PSUs are much more efficient when they are not near their upper limits.

I have a Seasonic Focus Platinum 850W and it has been flawless. They make a lot of Corsair's PSUs, too.

Ryzen requires fast rams with low latency.

Micro center previously had combo deals on any compatible pc parts, but now they restrict the selection and its not worth it.

7800X3D build for the same price, with a bit of RGB:
