Meanwhile you can walk into microcenter and pick up a 7500x3d with a 5060 for $999
5060 aint fast either, but it's way faster than a 7600. $300 will let you upgrade easily to 32GB of ram, or you could sell the 5060 (they seem to be about 300-320 for completed fleabay listings) and take the saved $300 and buy a 9070xt or something which are $630 at MC. 4k gaming for $1300. PSU is 650W and should work fine.
God I wish we had microcenter here. All the tech shops around the just sell overpriced prebuilts and peripherals
Where ya buying ya ram? I haven't seen any 32GB packs for less than $380
It comes with 16, you only need to buy 16 more for 32.
$205 for 16GB https://www.microcenter.com/product/688810/gskill-flare-x5-16gb-(1-x-16gb)-ddr5-6000-pc5-48000-cl36-single-channel-desktop-memory-module-f5-6000j3636f16gx1-fx5-black
$330 for 32GB https://www.microcenter.com/product/650528/teamgroup-t-force-vulcan-32gb-(2-x-16gb)-ddr5-5600-pc5-44800-cl32-dual-channel-desktop-memory-kit-flbd532g5600hc-black
so even if you want a matching pair it's pretty close.
480€ here...
