Is this pc build good? Is the motherboard good enough and are all parts good without any major bottlenecks? This pc is to play games like fortnite in 1080p or 1440p in 1920 x 1080 res with high fps on a budget

Most of it looks decent. This is the relevant PCPP link:

However, some nitpicks:

  • Motherboard is trash tier, yes it is good enough for the 7600X but there will be no upgrade paths for that board and the CPU will run warm in that board.
  • The RAM is a bit high latency-wise.
  • The SSD is not really a good option, you could and it will be okay for 90% of the time, and suck the other 10%, mostly when you have large (10GB+) updates of your games.
  • The Power Supply vendor is known for making poor quality Power Supplies, I do not personally trust them but unless you push the PSU to the max, it will probably be fine.

Here is what I would recommend personally:

If it’s relevant, Amazon is currently offering the XFX RX 6800 for $309, and it will absolutely knock the pants off the 7600 XT. Loses AV1 encode, but in every other metric it’s a massive upgrade for “free”.

6400mt/s RAM is “nice”, but a lower latency 6000 kit may serve you better for similar money, with less chance of not being able to hit the XMP/DOCP/EXPO profile speeds reliably. What I’m seeing suggests that 6000-6200 basically always works (at least in a 2-DIMM config) but 6400 can be difficult for some individual chips, kind of how 3800+ kits of DDR4 were hit-or-miss on AM4.

A-series board means the 7600X may actually get the VRM uncomfortably toasty, as it’s a 105W TDP. Dropping to a non-X dodges this (even if you step up to a 7700 or 7900), and comes with a boxed cooler that is vaguely adequate. Or you can go for a better board to start with and open your upgrade options to include the eventual 9000-series X3D chips.
