looks good budget build bro. it will last a few years, but am5 chips and ddr5 is becoming more future proof if you seek that. consider DDR4-4733 since it motherboard supports it

 

ibuypower is a pretty good prebuilt pc and you can get them from Walmart, or just online.

 

I would personally buy a second hand GPU and go up a level or two depending on your budget.

5600 is a great budget CPU

You could and probably should get rid of the mechanical HDD (arguably pointless in todays world), if you need more storage in the future you can buy another SSD, they are cheap enough and provide much faster speeds.

This may even allow you to go up to the Ryzen 7

 

why buy pre build, you can easily built it yourself and get way more value for the same price.

 

Power supply and graphics card are a bit mismatched, also Gigabyte doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to power supplies in general, I'd try to stick with any 80+ gold rated power supply that's fully modular and 650W+ preferably from EVGA or Seasonic but other brands that have a longer history of producing power supplies could be good too, Gigabyte is just kind of the budget brand when it comes to these parts and it shows in the tech they use.

As for the GPU, I'd go two steps higher and get the: XFX Speedster SWFT 309 Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB instead, Newegg sells it for 270 including shipping.

There's quite a difference in performance compared to the RX 6600 and I think the additional cost is worth it, especially considering this graphics card is sold NEW very close to its USED value, this is usually a pretty decent indicator of real value.

Additionally, you selected a PCIe 5.0 SSD but your motherboard doesn't have any PCIe 5.0 m.2 lanes, this means you'll be missing out on read and write speeds for your SSD, its not a massive problem as you can bring your SSD with you into a future build but if thats your intention, it might be worth going for a larger capacity from the get go.

Otherwise, see if there is a better value alternative for a PCIe 4.0 SSD with 1TB of storage capacity.

Its important to mention that when it comes to playing games, your PC should be centered around your graphics card, your graphics card does the heavy lifting so just try to keep that in mind.

 

Hello thanks for your reply I updated my list to this:
I already bought the case and the power supply and the cpu cooler lmk what u think.

I kinda want a cheaper gpu since money been tight lmk what u suggest thanks first time building one so any helpful suggestions would be amazing since u seem to have a greater knowledge on this topic.

I also will be buying the gpu last depending what gpu I go with.
I honestly don’t need anything to powerful since I play none demanding games.

 

maybe slide in a 5600 x3d if possible?

 

Call me old but I still think NewEgg is pretty good.

 

What is the end game with this pc though. Yes decent budget pc. But if you are looking to play msfs 2024 on it it will struggle big time. If you list some games you are trying to play and your budget I'd send you a pc part picker list in this thread.
