My first attempt at a gaming PC build. Aiming for a $1000 budget. Does anyone have recommendations on how to improve or save cost? Thanks!

Update: with the Newegg bundle deals, I was able to get a 7600x and a gigabyte B650 Eagle AX with a free Team Group MP33 M.2 2280 1TB X3 NVME. Dropped the 2TB. Swapped with a Montub AIR 309 MAX case and XFX Speedster SWFT 6800 and got the price to $1050

I was hoping to use it for at least 5 years before it needs an upgrade (maybe an additional SSD), I haven't noticed any bottleneck from the GPU so far but I only game at 1440p not 4k. If all goes well I'm hoping this build will work until the end of AM5 and I can upgrade once everything drops in price if I need to. Of course, I'm coming from a gaming laptop with only 8gb of Ram and 2gb in the integrated GPU lol.

Yeah, if you're planning on doing quick swap CPU and GPU upgrades, you'll definitely get 5 years out of it. If that's the plan, AM5 was the right move.

Enjoy the gaming!
