Would like to know if it's a good build and if the CPU cooler would fit with the MOBO.
Planning to buy everything at Tradepac.
CPU+MOBO: ASROCK Z790 PRO RS WIFI AX +i5-13600KF
$733
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE Cooler
$55
good picks overall, though if just gaming, i would opt for the ryzen 5 7600 with a cheap b650 which would provide the same level of performance for less money. the cooler is quite a recent model, so it should support lga1700/am5 natively, though i would go for the pa120 non se for just $2 more with slightly better thermal performance as the lancool 216 should fit it too.
Power Supply: SEASONIC FOCUS GX-750 750W
$181
good pick but i would suggest getting the adata xpg core reactor 750w for almost $20 less, comparable quality to the focus. u actually dont need this much power either, u can drop to 650w or even 550w with the 4070.
I'm leaning more towards intel build for an extra $100 but still cant decide, mainly for some light gaming D4, photo editing and andriod emulator.
i dont think that $100 premium is worth it, youd be getting very similar performance either way. in fact id argue going ryzen is the better choice as u have a more certain upgrade path to future cpu architectures on top of being cheaper.
I also realize some gpu using 12vhpwr connector, would it be of any issue if using it on the non ATX3.0 psu.
u will need an 12vhpwr adaptor, but nowadays it should be included with cards that need it. again, 4070 doesnt need 750w, and most aib models still use the conventional 8p pcie power.
which mobo to go with 5800x3d? and my PSU can support the 7600?
ur b450 tomahawk is an excellent am4 motherboard, no need to upgrade and can handle the 5800x3d very well. 7600 is also not a very power hungry card, 550w more than enough and ur unit is also good quality, so nothing to worry about.
I thought with the CPU & GPU upgrade, maybe I should change my mobo/RAM/PSU too.
not needed, u spend more replace also no difference.
For GPU, are there any other options around the same price/performance range as RX 7600?
local stock wise, no. u can refer to
this table i did a while back; local pricing for previous gen is also either scarce and/or quite unreasonable, so they should not be considered. as deepblue mentioned, u can get 6600 for under 300 which would be the value champ but that is amazon pricing for export set, meaning u dont have support if u encounter issues after the return period.
