What you will need:
-Power Supply Unit (PSU) for ATX or SFX or SFXL will work
-120mm fan - I suggest a static pressure model
-Case
-DDR5 SODIMM (laptop memory) 4800 or 5200 will work
Notes:
This board does NOT have a USB type E header. Aka you will technically not be able to use a PC case with USB-C ports on the case itself.
Be sure you grab the BIOS update as well. The BIOS update tooling only seems to work on Windows, there is no currently way to flash it from a USB drive I am aware of.
M.2 Drive without a attached heatsink
I bult this in a ITX case which is the use case I suggest as your getting a low TDP = lower watts = less heat and be far more easy to air cool. Running this as my primary gaming system and it's a noticeable upgrade from my prior 5800x.
One last thing, because this is a laptop processor, it comes "delid" making for an even better cooling situation. I can maintain my CPU boost at a constant 5.1 ghz while maintaining a temp of ~70c-80c. I have not noticed any thermal throttling just by using a 120mm static pressure fan.

~$300 Ryzen 77700
~$200 for a motherboard
~$100 for cooler
So $360 for all of those things vs ~$600 for the desktop parts seems like a decent deal given the proper use case. The onboard GPU may be crap but so what, that's why it has a PCI 5 socket. Throw in your own GPU. Even better since both GPUs can be active, you can take a bit of load off your dedicated GPU if you have other apps running.
