My first attempt at a gaming PC build. Aiming for a $1000 budget. Does anyone have recommendations on how to improve or save cost? Thanks!
Update: with the Newegg bundle deals, I was able to get a 7600x and a gigabyte B650 Eagle AX with a free Team Group MP33 M.2 2280 1TB X3 NVME. Dropped the 2TB. Swapped with a Montub AIR 309 MAX case and XFX Speedster SWFT 6800 and got the price to $1050

Yeah, if you’re planning on doing quick swap CPU and GPU upgrades, you’ll definitely get 5 years out of it. If that’s the plan, AM5 was the right move.
Enjoy the gaming!
