thats a good build and its pretty damn close to the best you can get in terms of price to performance and there arent any glaring issues like an overpriced/warrantyless psu (<10 year warranty) or parts that are ludicrously overpriced for what they arw (ex outdated samsung 970 evo)

 

doesnt mean that it cant be better though

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yVRHgB

 

as good as the b650m hdv is 142$ is pretty meh when you can get a betterr board like the pro b650m-a wifi or b650m aorus elite ax for 156 and 170$ respectively and these have much better i/o on the rear

 

psu has been upgraded to a 1200w, overkill but its 16$ extra whilst still retaining the 10 year warranty so i think its worth it when you consider these things live for 12-17+ years

 

cut cost on the ram as itll be the same hynix m/a die as any other 6000c30/32 kit

 

its also worth noting that the 7900x3d is at 360$ so if you can make use of the extra cores or you have games that benifit from higher clocked cores might be an interesting option

idk about amd being bad for streaming but if so you can swap the gpu for a 4070 ti super otherwise a 7900xtx also fits in budget

 

or if you wanna cut down on the gpu without losing much performance you might be able to find used 6950xt cheaper than a used 3090/new 7900gre and that gives the 7900xt a run for its money

Consider an ATX 3.0 compliant PSU. Perhaps https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Bjhv6h/adata-xpg-core-reactor-ii-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-corereactorii850g-bkcus, https://pcpartpicker.com/product/phVmP6/thermaltake-toughpower-gf3-tt-premium-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0850fnfagu-4, https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4XsV3C/be-quiet-pure-power-12-m-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn505, or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bNBzK8/seasonic-focus-gx-850-atx-30-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-atx3-focus-gx-850.

 

The motherboard has no A-RGB headers to control the case lighting. The case does include a lighting controller that will have to be used.

 

The GPU will be a very tight fit in the case as its length is the spec limit.

all solid units with 10 year warranties though the focus is a tad expensive for being an 850w

 

d.f.x 1200w is at 111$ atm and seems to be atx 3.0 whilst still having a 10 year warranty though im pretty sure this is a short term sale so itll probably be gone in a week or 2

 

also is the gf1 850w an atx 3.0 psu? cause it doesnt seem to mention atx 3.0 anywhere despite being a 2024 model

and i forgot rgb headers existed

 

both of the boards i mentioned seem to have rgb headers so also a reason ontop of the better i/o, vrms should also be better but thats kinda irrelevant whe  the b650m hdv will handle an overclocked 7950x so overkill ontop of overkill (hence why i dont really bother mentioning vrms outside of those new lowend trash am5 boards)

I don't believe the GF1 is ATX 3.0. The GF3 is.
