I am looking for 1200-1300 build with monitor. It this build good for this price category or can I get more for my budget? Thanks.

You’re not seriously getting the physical DVD media for Windows 10 Pro OEM that you have on your list? …and for $189? 
Interesting choice of SSD manufacturer though. What was the draw of Apacer? I see no stand-out features, and pretty mediocre performance for a PCIe 4.0 SSD.
What is this build even for?
Kindly put effort in your post, this place aint Twitter or Reddit?
Instead of linking to PC partpicker, why wont you re-type (or just copy paste the build)?
A searched the sdd and it is good and budget but not popular brand. The window is random, I going to buy it for 3$ or download from github.

Sorry, but I though that on part picker people can better see each component. Here you go bro.

For the RYZEN 7600 it comes with a perfectly good cooler for it’s low power use. However you should go for the 7600X for gaming because the extra clock speed will help, however get a 360 AIO as a cooler or you won’t get full speed all the time.
In the search for speed get 6400MT RAM because RAM speed affects FPS too.
You can get a 4 slot case rather than a 7 slot case for this motherboard. Just make sure it has room for your GPU and a 360 AIO.

Yeah, nope, for several reasons:
- CPU will bottleneck that GPU
- A 650W PSU will trip on the powerspikes of the 6800
- That case does not seem to have very good airflow, but is passable
- That motherboard has garbage tier power delivery, fine for a 7600 but don’t try to put anything beefier in there
- Paying $190 for a Windows 10 license when you can get a digital Windows 11 Pro license for $30 is just ludicrous.
I would go for something like this, it is a much more balanced build but breaks your budget with $80, all worthy additions overall though. One possible cost save is an RX 7600 XT instead of an RX 6800, you lose ~25% of GPU performance but save $50.

I kept the Zalman case for now since while there is nothing particularly good about it, there is also nothing really wrong with it either. Here are a couple of alternatives though:
As a final note, I recommend you take a look at the Markup buttons at top of PCPP, specifically the one for plain text, for the next time you ask for assistance. It helps. 
All that said, hope the above advice was useful, and feel free to mix and match with parts however you please. After all, your PC, your parts, your guns, your feet and your money

Hello. Can you explain me why CPU and GPU should battleneck? I really want 6800 because it has a good price for power.
Looking it up more, the 7600 is a borderline case with the 6800, it is CPU bound on 1080p but on 1440p, the GPU barely drops to a slow enough framerate for the CPU to keep up.
If you are mostly e-Sporting it will be fine, but if you are going into stuff like Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy and GTA VI on High settings or above… Then you really will appreciate the four extra threads the 7700 brings to the table.
Two more ways to save some money: The 7700 does not get particularly hot and comes with an O.K. ish stock cooler, so the Peerless Assassin is not strictly necessary. Sceptre also has a screen with similar specs available for $173:
With the Windows 11 license, this should push the price down to ~$1330. 30 bucks above budget. You will have a worse screen and a hotter system though.
You could also just YOLO it and go for the 7600, it will work fine, but once you put a 12 core Zen 5 CPU in that machine, you will realise what was missing in that build. if you go with the recommended motherboard, this allows you to at least upgrade to a Zen 5 or possibly even Zen 6 CPU in a year or three.
Cpu bottleneck is quite overrated in my opinion. Just keep the cpu from lowering it’s frequency and you will be fine. My Dino cpu can still do gaming even with higher end gaming with a decent cooler.
Will it not utilize a newer one as good…of course video cards are more important for gaming then cpu. Everything else just helps the bottom end.
650 watts is a bit low and agree with this. 750 is usually the recommended wattage

A 7800 has two extra core which increase performance whilst keeping the power low so easy to cool. However to get better performance for your money go 7600X which has higher clock speed so will give you higher FPS. You must keep the GPU well fed because you want 100% from the GPU all the time but only draw 50% or less from the CPU.
I’m building a similar system with a 7600X, 32GB 6200MT, RTX 4070 super. We shall see how that does.
You could use a 7800X3D CPU and you will get the very best from your GPU but it’s not essential.
