My first attempt at a gaming PC build. Aiming for a $1000 budget. Does anyone have recommendations on how to improve or save cost? Thanks!
Update: with the Newegg bundle deals, I was able to get a 7600x and a gigabyte B650 Eagle AX with a free Team Group MP33 M.2 2280 1TB X3 NVME. Dropped the 2TB. Swapped with a Montub AIR 309 MAX case and XFX Speedster SWFT 6800 and got the price to $1050

Pretty good build. For CPU's I basically always recommend getting non-X variants if it can be helped. They are only like 5% weaker (and many times less than 5% weaker) and tend to be significantly cheaper. So in your case, you can shave off cost by getting a 7600 instead of a 7600X.
IMO I would get a 6800 instead if a 6750XT - it's 380 dollars instead of 330, but you get 16 GB VRAM and it's just more powerful. A 6800 for 380 is a good deal, and it should be a deal that you can find relatively easily.
Everything else I really have no complaints about. Everything looks well balanced
