Not an 100% avid gamer, but love a good game. I wanted to have a modernized pc setup, but it doesn’t have to be top of the line, I’m wondering if I overexpensed on anything. Would love to know your thoughts and if anything sticks out on the setup.

The 7600 comes with a stock cooler. Saves a few $.

 

NVMe storage is better.

 

Better performing and more memory is a good idea.

Is Nvidia better enough in Unity and Photoshop, or would a 6750XT for a few more make sense?

Photoshop has better performance using Nvidia GPU. I'm not sure the difference would be that noticeable with an entry-level GPU like the RTX 4060.

Thank you for pointing out that there is a stock cooler with the 7600. That is precisely the kind of unnecessary purchase I was worried about accidentally doing.

I will make your modifications and purchase the final list. Thank you for your help.
