Can you share what your main use case is? It’s a weird mix of parts.
GPU - I would aim for the 9060xt 16gb over the 7700xt, in my market it’s currently cheaper and has better or equivalent performance, more vram, next generation. 7800XT is also an option in that price range but at that point you might as well aim for the 9070XT.
CPU - If you are playing games and aiming for high frames, go for a x3D1 model. Otherwise the 9700X should be fine, any current gen Ryzen7/9 CPU that fits your budget and use case should be fine. Almost all AM5 cpus are still extreme overkill in terms of performance anyway. AM5 should be supported for a long long time so you can also get a cheaper model and upgrade later when prices are a bit more reasonable.
Liquid Cooling - This also depends on your environment, I prefer liquid cooling as I live in a region with an absurd amount of dust and similar particles, have pets and carpet etc. Liquid cooling radiators are so much easier to clean than the inside of a air cooler, if appropriate air cooling is cheaper and still very effective.
Storage - I was going to recommend against the 2TB NVME but prices really are down, they’re in line with 512GB and 1TB NVME drives now, why not. You can just mix and match to find the best solution here.
1 I can’t understate just how ridiculous the performance uplift is from a x3d cpu in terms of frames, but if you don’t have the monitor to even notice the difference it is pointless and you’ll just be taking the productivity hit. All AM5 Ryzen9 CPUs come with increased L3 cache anyway.

RandallThymes [undecided, comrade/them]@hexbear.netto Memes@lemmy.ml•It's even infecting the wider lemmy network!English1·14 days agoThe People’s Republic of China oversaw the largest increase of quality of life in human history, and the previously mentioned famine would be the last in a region where they have frequently occurred throughout history.
The PRC’s legacy is not one of causing famine, it is of ending it.

If so this feels like a 60:40 between Charles winning and having a multiple defense title run again, or him getting caught by Topuria and his career winding down from here.

RandallThymes [undecided, comrade/them]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•How coherent is Metal Gear Solid’s politics?English4·28 days agoThe Metal Gear Series can be interpreted as a story about how we go from
soldiers (invading soldiers) they’re trying to make out as the real victims in all this?
to
We tried to build a better world for the poor soldiers and just exponentially increased the amount and scale of conflicts, guess militarism and interventionism were bad the whole time!
Along with it’s other themes of nuclear disarmament, anti-imperialism, govt. surveillance, information warfare, surrealism, a few episodes of the xfiles or twin peaks chopped up and randomly inserted, all in various stages of being coherent or half-baked.
Like, Solid Snake, Big Boss are fucking dumbos who need to have everything repeated to them twenty times before they grasp basic concepts, near every character in these games can only understand information by relating it to their experience on the battlefield, when they talk about how sad they are at being used as a human pawn in unnecessary conflicts it’s because they tried to get a job at a grocery store and got fired after a day for radioing their supervisor every time they had to press a new button on the cash register and then instinctively destroyed every cctv camera in the store with one of the 17 guns taped to their back, and maybe this is why it’s bad we raise people from birth to be part of a cult of killing machines.
If this isn’t a parody of American military worship
It is, this is a game where you get so mad at being betrayed by the US you join the Sandinistas and blow up Guantanamo bay
RandallThymes [undecided, comrade/them]@hexbear.netto news@hexbear.net•The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially repudiates Historical Fact that the current regime's national heroes, the OUN and UPA, waged genocidal campaigns against the Polish PeopleEnglish13·1 month agoNo-one posting here is in favour of how Ukrainians are currently being dragged to the front lines against their will to be used as cannon fodder. This post is about how openly the current Ukrainian Gov has promoted the nazi collaborators of the past to be today’s heroes and is asking Poland to pretend their crimes against humanity never happened in order to put up a united front against Russia.

Hardware above a ps4 / around a ps5 level is very available too, even with current prices. Incremental gains are becoming less and less, a decent pc now should last 5+ years.

RandallThymes [undecided, comrade/them]@hexbear.netto news@hexbear.net•NHS to test all children referred to a gender clinic for autismEnglish61·3 months agoWow, TERF Island can provide screenings for autism and ADHD in a timely fashion instead of a multi-year waiting list, but only when it provides an opportunity to be transphobic.
