so Im building a new pc after having been out of the pc loop for the last 4-5 years any advice or improvements would be appreciated

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi AMD B650

 

I was told ram manufacturer doesn't matter just the timing for it

V-Color 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200

the timing is 16-16-16-32

 

GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB

im buying this only because it was a recommendation and im trying to keep the build at around 1000 dollars

 

Newegg is going to give me as part of their deals a nvme gen 4 ssd

 

with a msi clear liquid aio

 

I also needed some suggestions on power supplys, I saw a couple videos of peoples power supplies exploding and id like to avoid frying my whole system

 

any people who have suggesting id very much appreciate it

This.... boy this is a headache... I assume you have no idea abou this stuff cause there there are so many mistakes here

 

You got an ITX motherboard in a full ATX case, the ram cannot work with that motehrboard and CPU as well under any circumstances, an 8gig GPU is a waste of money ESPECIALLY for 300$ and I seriously doubt even the things you chose are actually gonna be around 1000$ even with the deals

This is a realistic build for around 1000$

 

Lets start over with the basic questions tho so we can help you properly

What games do you play

Are you doing any other tasks

Do you need peripherals

Do you have any parts you could re-use

 

I edit my posts for so if you saw a typo.... no you didn't, you are just crazy

Browsing and moveis aside cause a potato can do that

Those games are both CPU and GPU intensive from what I can find (not much on destiny 2)

You would get more than enough performance form a 7600x paired with a 16gb 9060xt from what I can see

What they're not saying is that you chose DDR4 RAM AND THE 7800X3D requires ddr5.

 

It will not fit physically in that boards ram slots.

 

And 5700x for example uses DDR4.  7xxx and 9xxx CPUs use ddr5.
