Pretty bad imo for the price, you can get a faster gaming CPU that's upgradable, a GPU  one tier higher, and a case with good airflow

I get the CPU and the graphics card but I chose the case specifically so I could put it on the left side of my desk. The GPU is sponsored by my grandma and it might be a bit too expensive for her but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the help anyway.

Ok, but the case really looks like it has very bad airflow, can't you find a better cooler one ?

I am confused.  You started asking in Nov 2023, some 8 months ago.  You didn't interact with any of the people helping you, and keep making new posts about it.

 

What exactly are you looking for?   What are your concerns?

 

[venomtail]

• Why get 7700X? If you're saving money, just get 7600 tier, pay the extra 10eur for X variant. Got more to spend? 7800X3D.
• People been complaining about Corsair quality RAM for Ryzen 7000 series. Consider some other reputable brand like Teamgroup or G.Skill
• Old PSU. Get one with the 12PWRM connector so you don't have to use the splitter for GPU.

Well I was just making a first attempt and then school got more stressful so I had to postpone the project to the end of term. Now is end of term and I started a new build because my options and budget changed.

I've filtered for you PSU's with the needed cable, then crosscheck where said PSU model lands in this list. Don't get anything D or below.

 

Cable looks like this. With all cables, make sure they're completely plugged in with no room left to go deeper.

Alright thanks

OK one last question: RGB or no RGB? i like the look of rgb but does it make the PC any worse? does it have any Downsides? do i need specific/expesive Software? Thanks in advance for your advice.

RGB is purely cosmetic. If you want shiny lights, go for it. If you want to save a few bucks, skip it.
