Hey guys,

here's a build I've slapped together on PPP:

What do you think? Any obvious blunders? Anything I could do better? I'll run Mint on it and I want to do some gaming, AI work and general PC stuff.

If it were me I'd ditch the dinky AIO watercooler. Water cooling really isn't necessary for that chip and those don't really provide much real-world benefit over a good air cooler whereas they inherently bring their own special array of problems and built in failure points to the party. All of which is pointless unless you're only using your computer to show off.

Before the peanut gallery starts arguing with me, and I know they will, I have a Ryzen 9 9900X in my rig and I use air cooling with it (and my GPU, a 7900 XTX) just fine, thank you. Even mildly overclocked. The 9900X has a 120 watt rated TDP and your 7600X is only 105.

The liquid cooler is mainly for looks, I'll admit that. And no, I'm not the type for showing off. Few people will ever see this let alone appreciate it. I'm doing this because I like the look of it.

If that's your jam and it's within budget, that's valid.
