CPU/Board/RAM £600 Budget

[Shampoo]

As title. Asked to find parts for that budget. Gaming primarily at 1440p with a 3060Ti that'll probably get upgraded within a year. Only caveat I was given was to avoid all and any of the problematic Intels. Cheers!

Something like this, wait for CPU deals and/or get a cheaper board to push it closer to budget:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £419.99
• 1 x Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-GIG-03573) = £134.98
• 1 x Kingston FURY Beast EXPO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KF556C36BBEK2-32) (SKU: MY-29U-KS) = £89.99
• 1 x Arctic Freezer 36 120m Black CPU Cooler - 2x 120mm (SKU: COO-ARC-02420) = £23.00

Total: £667.96 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

9600x - £150
B650e mobo ~£200
32gb 6000mhz cl30 RAM ~£80

So that's £430 and then put the rest towards a new GPU

^Anything upcoming price-reduction wise? Any new launches or events to keep an eye on?

Could even go with a cheaper board like B650M-HDV/M2 for around £100, sell the 3060ti and combine that with the money saved to get a 4070 or 7800XT
