1080p first gaming PC for son

[tophertronic]

Hi everyone, what are people's thoughts on the following setup for my son's first gaming PC?
It's been years since I last specced a build, by which I mean it's been over 10 years, and my last computer was a prebuild, so I'm a bit rusty.

Also, why the hell are people selling second hand graphics cards for more than buying brand new??? I know crypto and AI has blown the costs sky high, but do people think they can sell for the stupid prices I see on ebay???

Anyway, I was aiming for around £1200. I don't need monitors as I have a couple of spare 1080p, which while not amazing, will be good enough for the time being.

• Fractal Design Pop Air - £90
• MSI Pro B840-P ATX - £150
• Lian-Li 750 80-plus PSU - £120
• AMD Ryzen 5 7600x - £210
• Sapphire Radeon RX7600XT 16GB - £300
• TeamGroup Vulcan EXPO 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz - £80
• Fury Renegade 2TB NVMe - £132

And, should I be buying additional fans, or stick with the stock ones included in the case and with the CPU? If i should buy more / change, any recommendations?

Thanks

Thanks for the recommendations.

So, is this cpu that different to the 7600x, for £10 less?

And vice versa with the gfx? That’s an extra £50 but is the performance worth it?
