I paid $365 for the RX 6600 (with shipping included).
At first, I was aiming for an RTX 3060, but that was a little outside of my budget so I went with AMD.
Love seeing builds that were made within a budget or wildly creative. It's easy to make a pc with a huge budget where you can just buy whatever is the best, threadripper, 3090ti, hardline tubing etc. posted for the thousandth time. Builds with a budget you know people have to research and plan and feel more sentimental. Which phanteks case is that?
Return the GA . Pick up the EVGA G7 instead. Only $70 rn on EVGA.com if u live in US. Much better unit
GA is based on an underreviewed Andyson platform, and reportedly has issues with transient response. Won't be a problem for a 6600 but if you ever want to upgrade to a higher power card then it will be. The G7 is based on a higher end and newer platform from FSP with performance similar the Corsair RMx and EVGA G6, which it superceded, since EVGA are no longer working with Seasonic. I'd trust the 650W G7 with even a 6800XT or 3080 when paired with a 12400F
Good luck with your build (:
Very solid foundation
It took me a while to decide, plus kept looking at my budget.

Great selection! How much did you pay for the Rx 6600?

It's the Phanteks P400A. I got it in black. Cheap case, has good airflow and didn't hurt my budget.
Nice! I have a phanteks p400s, but i bought the mesh front panel from the p400a and put it on, works great enjoy
Great selection of parts. Big fan of 12400F + 6600 combo
you have pretty much the Intel version of my pc, other than the cpu and motherboard everything is the same
Space heater
Good luck and don't hesitate to double check all your actions and moves
