Would you still recommend Ryzen 7000 series build today?

Spec is massive overkill for 1080p 60

Good luck getting 60 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 RT Ultra with RDNA2 :-DDDDDDDDDD

OP tends to be a guy who upgrades once a decade. It's by NO mean an overkill. By early 2030s, everything he has will be obsolete and borderline useless. Exactly like his current build.

I'd go for AM5 and manually configure everything in BIOS and test thoroughly to be sure every single current, voltage, and wattage is sane. 7700X is great for gaming, 7800X3D is even greater for it, albeit with a bit worse productivity in tasks which are not cache intensive. So if you consider gaming performance matter more than overall performance, go for 7800X3D. 7700X otherwise.

6800 XT is more than good for 1080p but will run short on juice in 1440p in a matter of years so I'd recommend considering 7900 XT which is a true ultimate 1440p gamer.

..... and then slowly but surely the components started arriving and the build can be started.
Decided to try the components out of the case on the box before installing them into the case. The nice thing about this motherboard is it comes with a anti gpu sag bracket which I used instead the one that came with the gpu. After a successful boot in the case I updated the bios to the newest non-beta version. I still need to enable Expo. Decided to use the stock cooler until my case fans arrive. I want this to be a Noctua themed build so waiting on the noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans and custom cable extensions. After that I will mount the NH-D15 as well.

Since I only had a really old windows on hand from 2016 I had ways to go while updating, but I'm up to date now. While it's giving me an option to go to windows 11 I will still stay on 10 for now. Another unexpected thing was that my monitor only has VGA (until now I was using VGA->DVI adapter and thought I had at least 1 hdmi), but since I had to replace the monitors psu about 2 years ago and about a month ago they replaced the whole board again since it would not turn on I looked around and got a not too expensive monitor as well.
Thank you all for your feedbacks they were greatly appreciated.
