Remove the cooler, the 7600 non X comes with a cooler and its plenty enough to keep it cool 🙂
Change case to a
Fractal Design Focus G perhaps.

There’s no reason a gaming PC for $1000 freedombux shouldn’t at least have a 6800xt.  It matters WAY more than a 7600 over a 5600, as that’s small difference in performance that won’t even show up when paired with a 6800xt.

You could get it under $1000 going with the ASRock 6800xt (essentially the same performance but you could get some pretty lights on it), going with DRAMless gen drive, or ditching the aftermarket cooler.

I prefer atx mobo and mid tower and I want it took look better than a dell optiplex with rgb

I mean, the only difference is about 2 inches of height.  Otherwise they'll look the same.  And I wouldn't sacrifice the gameplay quality for something so insignificant.  There's still a ton of airflow.  The 7600 is not a good deal for a GPU too go with a $1000 PC.

With this GPU instead of the other one, it'll have synched RGB as both the board and GPU can use polychrome.  Polychrom can also be used to control the lights on the case fans and heatsink fan.  $10 less, too.  Or you can get the Taichi for $20 more, which has a cooler look to it.  ASRock Taichi X OC Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB Video Card (RX6800XT TCX 16GO) - PCPartPicker

Or with a bigger case, this would probably look pretty similar to what you want, albeit for $40 over your budget:

It’s not great, you’re:

  • spending more for 16gb of RAM than you could be for 32GB
  • getting a 7700xt when the 6800xt is still quite a bit faster
  • Spending $130 on an am4 biard without Bluetooth or wifi and going with an inferior wifi standard
  • Buying a 1080p monitor in 2023

if you’re super intent on how little internal components look, let me tell you that you’ll never look at yhe tower itself more than you do the day you buy it.  Most of the cheaper stuff still looks cool, and from a distance or when you’re gaming you’ll be shocked at how quickly you stop caring.

 

The framerate and of the games, however, will matter a lot for the entirety of the time you own the system.

What do you think?

 

Pretty good, but:

  • The CAS latency on that memory is high, go for some 3200mhz CL16 RAM.  The silicon power gaming or xturbine is $50 for 32gb, as is the teamgroup t-creat expert.
  • $110 is a bit much for a basic motherboard with no bluetooth or wifi.  Consider this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HQVG3C/gigabyte-b450m-ds3h-wifi-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b450m-ds3h-wifi .  It’s the b450 version but the only difference is that you would use a gen 3 NVMe.  If you get a gen 3 drive with a dram cache it’ll be the same.  The teamgroup mp33 pro is a decent option at price point, or sometimes the 970 EVO if it’s on sale.
  • for $110, this is an even better motherboard that also has bt and wifi; https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PDsnTW/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi . It can to pcie gen 4 and has the x16 slot high so you’d get better airflow to the gpu.
  • Don’t worry about the rear I/O being uncovered.  The I/O shied keeps dust out, and the rear exhaust fan covers it up and the CPU cooler make it impossible to see anyway.
  • that PSU is not great, there are better options at that price point.  Some of these are non-modular, but nowadays it doesn’t matter because nobody uses HDDs anymore, so you have that whole PSU shroud under the case to tie away extra cables and you’ll never see them.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pjZXsY/deepcool-pm850d-850-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-r-pm850d-fa0b-us


https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Yp9wrH/be-quiet-pure-power-12-m-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn504 (best IMO)

Otherwise this is pretty well balanced, i think you’ll have a great time

An 8-pin connector can do 150w.  If it’s pigtailed it can do 300w.  Plugging in one of the pigtails off either will be more than enough.  It’s a 750w new mode high-end PSU it can run. A 65w CPU and a 300w GPU with no issues.  It’s spike protection is over 1000w.  A lot of the 6800xts only have 2 8-pin connectors anyway.  That third one is on there mostly for marketing.  And again, with the pigtailed connector on a pure power 12 it’s WELL within normal operation.

For what?  It’s a fast CPU, the 7600 is barey faster and people are pairing it with the 7900xtx.  Just because it’s 2 years old doesn’t just make it slow.

The first is a 5500 compared to a 5800x3d in a CPU heavy game.  I can’t tell what the second one is, and the last one is with low settings, (and they’re all over 144/160 fps, with most of the 1% lows also over, which almost always tend to improve with adaptive sync on, which should always be on)  It’s not gonna bottleneck it for most stuff.
