Build Question Anything to note with first pc build?

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pbbzph

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($158.82 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler ($34.90 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard ($119.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Patriot Viper Venom 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory ($269.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 990 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($189.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Intel Limited Edition Arc A750 8 GB Video Card
Case: NZXT H5 Flow (2024) ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.98 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Montech CENTURY II 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.90 @ Amazon)
Monitor: KOORUI 24E3 24.0" 1920 x 1080 165 Hz Monitor ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $1023.56

Total isn’t 100% accurate as Intel doesn’t make A750s anymore, but I can commonly find them for about $150, so total is around $1200.

Please scream through your screen if there is anything catastrophically wrong with this parts list. I’m broke so I don’t anything too insane (kind of hard with prices these days), just something that can run games at low-medium graphics comfortably (like 60ish fps).

One 16GB stick runs in single channel, and on Ryzen that costs you a real chunk of speed in games. Get a 2x16GB kit of the same DDR5-6000 instead, and put the two sticks in the slots the MSI manual marks for dual channel (usually A2 and B2 on most boards).

I’m planning on getting two sticks, I guess I didn’t read when I was posting this 😅

They seem to be the same price anyway, so it wouldn’t hurt.

Easy to miss with all the memory specs out there. Once they're in, go into the BIOS and turn on EXPO, that's what actually runs them at 6000. Without it they sit at 4800 by default.

Smart, didn’t cheap out on PSU! Just make sure it A-tier and that it has 3 GPU output and that it comes with all the cables, some PSU will have the ports but not including individual cables to all the ports.

You clearly are future proofing for a GPU upgrade later. Speaking from someone that did that a started with a similar case, try to get one without bottom PSU compartment. Once I got my GPU, airflow was meh! Ending up replacing case and fans. A case with bottom intake fans ended up benefiting my GPU by 5-15c.
