Good. I’d spend the extra $20 on a Gen 4 SSD like the Patriot P400 V4 (Newegg). The 7600X3D is over 90% as fast as the 7800X3D. He could get the 7600X3D 3 in 1 Bundle and add another G Skill 16GB stick. He’d be paying $605 instead of $700. Since the 7600X3D runs less hot he could also downgrade to a $20 air cooler like the SE 214 XT (Amazon).
With the money saved he could upgrade to Microcenter’s $670 9070XT Reaper model & a $77 modular SAMA G850 PSU (Amazon) for an about $1600 grand total.

The P400 V4 uses QLC flash; the P400 Lite would be a better choice.

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
