We're going to need more info. You're advised to stylize your thread with info asked of in this thread;
and the community can chime in with worthwhile suggestions pertaining to your predicament.

On face value, the build looks good out of the box but you should change the ram to something like DDR5-6000MHz with tight latencies to get the most out of your AM5 platform. To note, look for ram that has AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on the package. I would add a smaller capacity SSD for the OS, app's and launchers assuming this PC is meant to be taxed primarily as a gaming system. If not, then add an HDD so you save your content if this is a content creation system.

According to AMD the max compatiable RAM speed is 5600Mhz?

You want DDR5-6000 CL30 for these AM5 cpu's. If this build is intended for gaming then change the cpu to a 9800x3D and the AIO to a 360.
