I was considering buying a brand new PC, coming from a base M1 MBA. Gave my old PC with an i5-8400 and a 1060 (3gb) to my younger brother who needed a computer, because I needed a laptop for school and he needed a computer for meetings. Will continue to use the MBA for school, but I recently started music production and realized that I can't have Musescore and FL Studio open at the same time without like 6-7gb of swap (soddered 8gb ram). Also, lack of multi-monitor support has become a dealbreaker. I have a list of parts that I'm considering:
Ryzen 7700 (stock cooler)
Gigabyte B650M (no need for wifi, just going to rely on LAN unless you guys recommend otherwise)
Teamgroup T-Create Classic 2x16
Kingston NV2 1TB
Asus Dual OC RX 7600xt (should I go nvidia?)
Fractal Focus G Mini
Corsair RM750e (heard that I needed at least 2x est. power requirements in case of power spike)
I'm still considering whether or not to bite the bullet on this build, but I have been looking to play Jedi Survivor and Spiderman 2018 at 1440p 60fps, along with some totally legal switch emulation with YUZU, maybe Totk upscaled @60fps. Thanks for any advice that you guys could give.

I thought solidigm were intel

I thought solidigm were intel
Intel sold it to SK Hynix as they left the SSD business

bruh the amd bundles are out of stock where i live, but the individual cpu is avaliable for 350
gritty ether
Also fractal vs 4000d?
waxen holly
im probably going with the 4000d in white
gritty ether
Oh
Rlly? It's a good case yeah
The fractal has rgb fans included at lower price, and is easier to cable manage 4 me

Honestly if Kingspec warranty is really good, then I don't see a problem
should i do a microatx build? the bundle isn't available rn, or do they restock pretty frequently?

MicroATX is usually more budget components these days because SLI is dead nowadays so 2 GPU systems don't exist so if you want to focus on form factor, either ATX, or ITX
Most MicroATX cases are really budget now tbh
