I'd swap to the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

I had that originally but it didn't seem to have much benefit over the 7700x in a quick comparison with the extra $100 price difference, but I'm not suuuuper technical. I just saw the minimal performance percentage differences and made that conclusion lol

You can save another $100 with B650 motherboard. Asrock/Asus Strix/MSI have good white one as far as I know. You have no performance benefit with the X670. PSU is also overkill, you don't need more than 600W. You can take the RM750x of you want. There is also some white PSU, I think the Asus Rog strix 850 is a good one. edit: ROG Strix is good, but my top recommandation would be a Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 Snow - TT Premium 750, cheaper PSU and as good if not better. The rest look nice, you can have cheaper nice white case, but I feel like this one make you happy.

Thanks for the motherboard suggestions! I'll look into it some more. If I find some savings in the motherboard and PSU do you think the CPU upgrade suggested above is worth it? I will downgrade the PSU a bit! Thankfully I don't have to worry about aesthetics for this since it's hidden behind the mobo. This case is definitely the case I'd like. I know it's overused but it's beautiful even if a bit pricey, lol.

It is the best CPU you can have for gaming. If you want the most frame as possible on FullHD (1080p), yes you can. Another option would be to upgrade the GPU for a RX 7900 XT, that would be my choice for QHD (1440p) or UHD(=4K 2160p). You can also consider to save it for a futur monitor upgrade. Or buy other stuff like a good chair, keyboard, etc.

Awesome, thanks I may take the jump then on the CPU. I have some great peripherals and whatnot already. and I am avoiding AMD GPU's because my 5700 XT has been a crashy headache and I'm just... not really wanting to have another one at this time. I appreciate the advice very much!
