Are these good parts

The B760M PG Riptide really is the best board you can get for a 12400F system mostly due to its ability to overclock said CPU (it's only of a handful of boards that can, and the only one priced less than $200). The case and cooler are fine swaps if you're willing to spend the extra money, but you really want to keep that board as is. If you want to go for a board you think looks better, I'd move to the AMD system because there the board doesn't matter anywhere near as much.
My reasoning behind saying an overclocked 12400F is faster on average than a 7600X is across some different testing methodologies. HardwareUnboxed has shown that it's about a 30% performance uplift in games, and on average the 7600X is only about 5-10% faster than the 12400F using TechPowerUp's testing (those two picked mostly out of convenience, HWU did the testing for overclocked 12400Fs and TPU is much easier to read quickly for everything else). There's outliers in either direction, yes, though on average I would still expect an overclocked 12400F to be the faster of the two. Whether or not that difference is meaningful is up for debate.
To be clear, I would still recommend the AMD system in most use cases, but not really because it's significantly faster, more because you actually get an upgrade path and better CPUs.
Alright I decided to go with ryzen and change the gpu to a 4060 ti, because you can always change them right, so I’ll change to a 4070 in the future, and had to change the motherboard to a WiFi one because I live in a two story house, and can’t have a Ethernet with that, is the 4060 ti worth it instead of a regular 4060, here’s the link to it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hhyv28
