Is the 7600 "better" than the 5800X, or are you just thinking of upgradeability?
Depends on what you are doing. For gaming a Ryzen 5 7600 is faster:
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X Review
In a nutshell, what makes the Ryzen 5 9600X a bad product is the fact that it's often slower than its predecessor and yet somehow costs 40%...

The Ryzen 5 7700 has been as low as £220 recently(if you shop around) and then Chinese sellers have the Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 5 7500F from £115.
This is stressful, lol.
I can do an AM5 build for £45 more than the AM4 build. Is this really "better"? I can see power is much better and therefore heat may be easier to manage...
Corsair 32GB 6000mHZ - 88
Asrock B650M - 111
7600 Ryzen - 180

I plan to use my 5700XT as well; I presume that isn't an issue with any of my ideas so far.
If you use price comparison sites or one of the numerous famous auction site discount codes,you can reduce that price further.
The ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 is the one to go for. For RAM,6000CL30 or 6000CL32 is the best. Thermalright make some good air coolers for under £25.
