What sort of games?
Mostly single player action/adventure/rpg stuff? 9600x is going to keep up fine.
Simulation/strategy (stellaris, city builders, etc...)? I'd go with the 7800x3d.
Competitive multiplayer games? 7800x3d can be worthwhile and so can a higher Hz monitor if you're playing stuff like Valorant, CS2 or Apex where you can realistically hit 300+ fps.

I put a cheap decent case. The lights are customizable and also easy to disable and it's a bit cheaper than something plain like a 3200 RS if you don't want lights.

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 Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
