Hi
So i was looking into building my first Gaming Pc and here are the specs i have


CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
MoBo: Asus tuf b450 pro
PSU: Fractal Design 600 w 80+wight certfied
Case: Phanteks eclipse p400a white edition

GPU: rx 5500 xt (Already bought)
SDD: Using old 250-ish gb

my budget was around $1000 but now after i bought the GPU it's 800

I can easily get all of these components for the price but i wanted to know if there was anything better out there
or if this build would give me any problems

I would return that GPU and get something better.

If you are playing with a ryzen 5 3600, i would recommend returning your GPU also as you could get something a lot better such as a rtx 2060 or rx 5600 xt if you get refunded for a little bit more.

Im looking to buy one similar to yours and im getting a 5 3600 and probably rx 5600 xt alongside 16gb of ram.

You should also get a HDD to go alongside your SSD if you havent already.
