PC for software development

Build Help

I am a software engineer based in New Zealand looking to upgrade my laptop to a PC. Despite being in "tech", I have no idea about computers, having always just used company issued laptops my whole life. I don't game or anything, but I do use android emulators, lots of GIS data crunching, etc.

I was thinking of the below spec but want to get everyone's thoughts please.

Component	Spec	Comment
CPU	AMD Ryzen 5 7600	Comes with stock cooler which is what I planned to use
Motherboard	Gigabyte B650I AX ITX	Not fussed, first thing I found thats AM5
PSU	Coolermaster V SFX 750W 80 Plus Gold	Seems good enough and modular?
Case	Deepcool CH170 ITX	Really like and want a small form factor
SSD	Kingston KC3000 NVMe SSD 1TB	Cheap SSD I found.
RAM	ADATA XPG Lancer 32gb DDR5 (2x16gb)
