Need helping thoughts on the build (lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz)

Building a pc and need input of whether on not this is the best bang for the buck I can get. Budget is from 1.2k - 1.35k euro.

I'm using only one specific site in my country because it's the most reliable one here.

Link to the build

The site I'm using is Futura-IT which has 10% on anything you buy.

Only thing I need here is the ryzen 5 7600x because I need it for rpcs3 emulation, so the fact that the cpu is stronger than the gpu in the list is intended because of the kind of stuff I do and play. Otherwise I wanna play games at 1080p 144hz but willing to play games at 60fps with high settings.

Quick thoughts:

The Phantom Spirit 120 SE comes with a tube of TF7 thermal paste in it. It's not absolute top-end of paste, but I think for a 7600x you're probably going to be okay and don't need to buy separate paste.
B650 PG lightning is a perfectly good board. 168 EUR isn't even that bad a price - I've seen it cheaper, but also for more. May depend on how long you want to wait.
The RAM is good. It has a 6000-CL30 XMP profile that works perfectly fine for AM5 processors.
Power supply is rated as "speculative position" on the PSU tier list. If you're not familiar with the list, you may want to poke around on it and see if you can find a more established model for roughly the same price.

Just be mindful of XMP profile RAM on AM5 motherboards. That specific kit doesn't have explicit compatibility listed on the ASRock website . That doesn't mean it won't work, but it's something to be mindful of.

Also, the regular Thermalright Assassin would be plenty enough cooling for that processor if you wanted to save a little money, but the Phantom Spirit is a phenomenal cooler!

That's fair, yeah. I am currently running a different PVV kit on an AM5 processor, with the same XMP configuration (6000MHz, 30-40-40-76 timing), but I will concede that it's not a pre-qualified compatible certainty.
