I have decided to go for the 7803DX instead of the 7600X for CPU so I don't have to upgrade my CPU in the future. I would rather upgrade my GPU.

I have decided to go for the 7800XT, The 4070 Super is just not enough for me to pull the trigger for another $150 CAD. lowest price 7800 XT is $680 CAD and lowest 4070 Super is $830 CAD.

I simply picked the most decent looking MOBO for the list below. There are so many of them out there is really confusing.

As for the case, I want something large enough for future expansion for the GPU, something that has good airflow.

As for the GPU does it really mater which brand to buy? They all look pretty much the same to me.

It's ok except the 2 pairs of different RAM sticks, both not very good

Get some GSkill 6000CL30, I'd suggest 2x16GB as 2x8GB DDR5 sticks are overpriced

Hello... I looked over your list and it looked ok, however I made some changes. Now all parts are in White. Some changes were cheaper and some were faster and cheaper. I will list them here:

I switched out the CPU Cooler for a 360mm AIO. The 7800X3D does not draw a lot of Power but it does get very Hot. For this reason I went with an AIO and it gives you 3 extra Fans to help Cool the PC. More Airflow is always a good thing. You could go with an Air Cooler too but there is a better and cheaper option than the DeepCool AG620.

I swapped out the Motherboard for one that all White and is still Gigabyte. Not only is it in White but it also has the new WiFi 7 if that matters at all to you. It is much Faster than WiFi 6E.

Everything else I changed was to get the all White Theme. RAM, M.2, GPU, Case, & PSU. I also threw in a GPU Support Bar. The Case that I changed to is the Montech Air 903 MAX. It has 4 140mm Fans. The 3 that are in the Front are ARGB and the one in the Rear has no RGB. So this one has 1 more Fan than the Thermaltake Case you has and has bigger Fans to help move more Air.

I was able to do all this within your budget. Please let me know what you think.

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For future communication I use Discord for much faster response times as I have it open 24/7. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772 I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build process on Discord through Voice or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be.
