I’ve been toying around with the idea of building a new PC after a long time of using a gaming laptop. I don’t need anything cutting-edge, just some gaming and movie watching and what not. Looking for any advice, noticeable bottlenecks, or glaring red flags would be great.
For a $1300 build you should be on AM5 playing at 1440p with no issues.

First of all the 7600 comes with a cpu cooler so unless you want one for aeshetics id go for this. (Can go phantom spirit or ag400 or assassin x if wanted one)
Motherboard: Pretty much one of the cheapest options with wifi, if you dont like the black and silver you can go for the msi pro b650m for 10 more dollars which is purely black.
Cheaper and still very good storage more than enough of your needs.
GPU general rule of thumb is to go for the cheapest AIB (version), its black/silver so if you want can get pure black for 10 dollars more. The 6900xt is much faster and can handle 4k aswell.
Case is personal preference but you choose a way too expensive one for no reason, this one is a smol like the matx you chose and is nice.
PSU is the cheapest high end one good for this budget
