Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, Radeon RX 6650 XT, Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower

Been slowly upgrading a prebuilt from 2009. I've upgraded everything but the mobo, ram, cpu, and cooler. Was hoping someone could do a sanity check on my build to make sure it's good for a few years at least.

What are you using the PC for? I think the X3D CPUs do much better for gaming at the expense of productivity performance.
- Yeah this will be primarily for gaming. It also will probably be upgraded over time as well.

Check this out to compare but I’d up the cpu to a x3D at least

- I've updated my build. How's this look? link
  
  What is your budget? That looks good, I would just add a M.2 NVME SSD and then later when you can upgrade the graphics card. His September video has good recommendations for those. Also looks like the 7800x3d is sold out most places but if there is a Best Buy near you they may have it in stock. Good luck!

You could easily save on the cooler and put it towards an NVMe drive.

As the other commenter said, what is your use case?
Overall it looks solid, the CPU outpaces the GPU a little bit but if you plan to upgrade that in the future this is a great first upgrade.
You could probably go with air cooled but we're talking ~2-30$ of savings max for maybe more sound.
If you're making this for gaming get a 7700x3d
I'd highly suggest you get an nvme SSD at some point in time ideally in the 1-2tb range, it'll be a huge improvement you can notice right away.
Overall the build looks good, some min-maxing you could do but we'd need more info to be sure.
- Oddly enough i don't see pc parts picker showing the 7700x3xd as an option.
