My first iteration of a build, any review / advice / input is welcome!

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6ybx9K Budget is £1500, I know it’s a tiny bit over but that’s fine. Not into super high end gaming or fps games, I hope however this is nice and smooth for use of blender (ik its not an nvidia gpu, I have already thought about that) godot, my python IDEs, and causal gaming. This is my first time trying to come up with a build, please lmk what you think! Edit - I found out someone I know has a pretty solid 750w psu they are willing to give me, so I don’t need to spend on that anymore Edit 2 - I swapped out the 7700 for a 9060, thanks for suggesting that!

I would really get a 9060XT 16GB instead of a 7700XT
thanks, that is a way better idea and I’ll go with that!
Yeah this PC will be a lot better. You could also save even more money and get a thermalright assassin X for about half the price. It's not as good as the peerless assassin but it can easily handle the 7600x
thanks for the advice! I’ll prolly stick to air cooling, sounds a little more reliable and like it wouldn’t make too much difference. as for the RAM, I am considering putting the money I now do not have to spend on a PSU towards getting a CL30 kit instead…
yeah, aio is for aesthetics in most cases. hope your build turns out nicely and have a great rest of your day.

just a few things i want to point out im seeing some kits with cl30 go around for the same price and i encourage you to go with those, corsair is a w choice but latency matters more than the brand. also for the aesthetic part there are some thermalright 360mm aios going for 60 and thought you might want it since you are already planning to install the the same fan models on the aios. but, if you want to save some money dual tower is fine and yeah, air coolers will last relatively longer than aios, but that doesnt mean your pc will be flooded. again, your choice
