Need help choosing CPU, MB, RAM and CPU cooler.

[TheCableGuy]

Hello again guys. I recently bought GPU, SSD and monitor with great advice that I got here. I was planing to upgrade other parts a few months later but my motherboard broke or maybe I broke it. So it can't wait. Help me pick good parts please.

specs
Monitor: Dell G Series G3223D 32" QHD, 165hz
GPU: 6800 xt Powercolor Red Dragon
PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus 850 Gold
Case: lian li lancool 2 mesh c performance
Storage: WD SN770 2tb., 250gb samsung ssd

PC is for gaming, media and internet.

MB/CPU - I have a budget of 400-500euro for the combo. I would like to use this pc for at least 3-5 years before making upgrades.
Right now I can get Ryzen 5 7600 for 230euro and cheapest ATX B650 board like MSI pro b650-p WiFi for 179euro. Is micro-ATX as good as ATX? There is sale on Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 135euro. Asrock Riptide PG 169euro.

​

Is this a good combo? Please recommend good brand of mb for B650 if it's good pick.
Is there a competitive intel option? I read that am5 is more future proof and amd in general for cpu.

RAM - Budget for ram is 100-120euro. I'm not sure about compatibility but there are Corsair ddr5
vengeance 2x16gb 6400 cl32 on sale for 119euro.
I don't know much about ram so I was searching by mh and cl. Ram is difficult to pick for me.

CPU cooler - Anything that can do the job well and quiet.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

The B650-P looks fine, but only has 2 PCI-E 4.0 M.2 slots and worse sound than the Tomahawk.

RAM - Budget for ram is 100-120euro. I'm not sure about compatibility but there are Corsair ddr5

Doesn't need to be so fast, but it's fine.

For the Euro 55, saving, the Asrock HDV/M.2 board is a no brainer.

I ended up getting B650 Tomahawk with Corsair Vengeance 6400 and Thermalright Phantom Spirit cooler. Installed everything and set it up yesterday, ran some tests and games, so far looks good.
The main issue I had with Asrock HDV/M.2 is there are only 2 RAM slots. I also needed a decent sound card and bluetooth. I was planing to buy them separately but the prices come around Tomahawk's which has both. Thermalright Phantom spirit was an easy pick, great price for performance, quiet and looks good.

One thing that I overlooked was that my ram is only optimized for intel. I ran memtest86 and games without any problem. In my bios the ram speed is set to only 4800 by default should I set it to 6400? Most settings in bios are on auto. Also PBO is disabled.

You won't be able to just change the frequency and you may find that even with the frequency & DRAM voltage set, that it still isn't stable, since enabling XMP/DOCP or EXPO changes other stuff too.
