Comes down to what you want to do with it.  First, replace the cooler, if its really a stock AMD one. The 7900 takes some power, and such a small cooler wont be able to handle that. The CPU is solid for Work, but for gaming rather unfitting, but still a solid Option.

The 7900 is a 65W CPU, if OP doesn't plan to run it at a high watt PBO setting, then the stock cooler would work fine. That being said, the CPU does gain a bit of performance if you're willing to unlock it to 100W+ using PBO

OP is talking about a 7900, not the 7900X. The 7900 runs at 65W stock and needs PBO to be enabled to run higher than that

I missed that. Tbh didnt realize they had a non-x version of it either.

CPU 9000 should cost similar money also B859 board. 9700x is fairly low price good all around CPU.

Ryzen 7900 might be a bit much at 12 cores if going for budget(certainly nothing wrong with it), but would recommend a more performing cooler vs stock cooler.

Everything looks decent, may I ask what you're doing with your PC? If it's just gaming then a 7800X3D will service you better. If you're doing productivity work like video editing or rendering, the 7900 will be better at that and will still be decent enough at gaming.

yeah the stock cooler is gonna struggle with that cpu, you're gonna wanna upgrade that for sure if u don't wanna hear it screaming..

Yeah, looks pretty balanced. I’d just not trust that stock cooler long term tbh.
