i am going to be building my first custom gaming pc once i have saved up enough money and i would like my cpu to be based around the ryzen 5 7600x. i was on microcenter custom pc building and i picked out all my parts but i dont know if my parts will work together or it has enough cables. im really paranoid because i dont want to buy a part and it doesn’t work with the rest of the components. please help to see if if i have to switch out any parts to make it better/work or just any suggestions to save money on a certain part. my budget is around 1200-1300 dollars.

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X Raphael AM5 4.7GHz 6-Core Boxed Processor - Heatsink Not Included - $219.99
CPU Cooler: AK500 ZERO DARK High-Performance CPU Cooler - $54.99
Mobo: B650-P PRO WiFi AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard - $199.99
Ram: Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-5600 PC5-44800 CL46 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit CP2K16G56C46U5 - Black - $71.99
Case: Lancool 216 RGB Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case - Black - $109.99
Power Supply: 750 Watt 80 Plus Bronze ATX Semi-Modular Power Supply Active PFC SLI Crossfire Ready Gaming PC Computer Switching PSU - $79.99 (the component im most worried about; enough cables? work with mobo?
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 Fighter Overclocked Triple-Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card- $449.99
SSD: 990 PRO 1TB Samsung V NAND 3-bit MLC PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe M.2 Internal SSD - $59.99 (will it be better to just get a 980 pro? idek bc the 990 pro 1 tb is less expensive than the 980 pro.)
TOTAL: $1249.92
 
yeah i live near one ill be sure to get that ty. so i get that bundle and that psu and the rest of the parts are fine ? my pc can be put together with no problems?
 
It depends on how likely you are to upgrade just your cpu in the future. LGA 1700 is EOL and will be replaced in a year or so, AM5 has support until 2026. That is a good deal on that 12900K though.

i probably wont upgrade my cpu in a couple of years because i want a solid pc that will last me without upgrading anything. needa save my money for other things yk

If this is a gaming build, even a 7600x will beat an i9 12900k. If you are doing some heavy workbench type tasks, then the 12900k would be the way to go.

Just on your original build, spend more on the PSU and RAM. That RAM is too slow, if you went for 5600, you want CL30 or lower. The go to for Ryzen 7000 is DDR5 6000 CL30 EXPO (don't go with XMP as it can be problematic in AMD systems).

the ram is included in the ryzen 7000 bundle so idk if i can change that unless i buy the parts individually. its a ddr5-6000 cl36. is that fine?
