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 know I sound like an old man, but it blows my fucking mind that 1k isn't a high end build
I used to talk people out of consoles bc they could build a much better PC for less money
$668.14 in 2007 (Average) equals $1,000 of buying power in Feb. 2024.

Sounds about right. Maybe 10% more.
I mean if you only play games, or games that can be played on a console, then might as well just get a console instead of a PC. Though PCs are still better in my opinion.
