If you live anywhere within driving distance of a microcenter, this microcenter bundle deal is a far superior value compared to purchasing the 7900x alone for $355: https://slickdeals.net/f/16825289-microcenter-amd-ryzen-9-7900x-asus-b650e-f-rog-strix-gaming-wifi-g-skill-flare-x5-series-kit-64gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-549-99?src=frontpage
Additionally, even for those for whom microcenter is not an option, the 7900x has gone on better sales previously at both ebay ($330 for the 7900x from antonline via eBay) and best buy ($469.98 for the 7900x bundled with the gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax motherboard). Considering intel 14th gen should be releasing within the next few months, and we're approaching back to school and holiday season, I would wait until prices at least match those previous deals before purchasing.

Looking to build a gaming p.c, was considering the ryzen 7600x with an AM5 PCIe 5 board, found both for about $450 dollars after tax, is it a good choice or should I invest in this 7900X?
Pure gaming you can't really go wrong with the 7600x or 7700x. If games 2 years from now somehow manage to need more than 6-8 cores you'll have plenty of upgrade paths that will beat out this 7000 generation on your am5 motherboard

So then am4 motherboards are definitely out of the question, even though I been reading that they are plenty of good for gaming, but I want to future proof which is why I been browsing for an am5 motherboard, will go with an am5 PCIe 5.0 board for sure and probably a 7600x cpu since then 7700x is $100 higher than the 7600x.

Update (as if anyone cares): I decided to go with the ASRock X670E PRO RS [newegg.com] due its potential for expansion and upgradability at this price point, and the following RAM kit:

G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB Series (AMD Expo) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30 [amazon.com], being a kit that strikes a good balance of performance and stability, running just a hair under the maximum clock speed my board will support with respectable timings for a kit its size and speed, while supporting EXPO and consistently shown to work well with Ryzen 7000 CPUs, at a reasonable price considering the aforementioned factors. It was technically $5 cheaper at Newegg [newegg.com] however I opted to go with Amazon to get the extra 5% cash back with my Amazon rewards card.

Now for a case... something able to accommodate my no less than 22 hard drives, 13 of the them internal, consisting of 1 NVMe SSD, 1 2.5" SSD and 11 3.5" HDDs. So far I've narrowed it down to the following:

Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL [neweggbusiness.com]

Phanteks Enthoo 719 [amazon.com]

Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 [amazon.com]

If any other fellow data hoarders could recommend a case that can fit a dozen or so HDDs, it would be appreciated.

And then wait for black Friday, and then for Christmas deals and then for new year deals. The wait cycle is endless
That is why my current system is 10 years old as is my TV.

The purchase of a 7900X qualifies for a free copy of Starfield Premium Edition ($100).
