Can we put links here? Paul's Hardware just posted a $700 build that gives a 5600 on a B550M and a 6600XT. See here:

Check this out. Forgive me it’s a link from a YouTuber. But i5 12600kf for 140 bucks. Normally a 200 dollar cpu.

YouTube

You could then grab a b660 or 760 board.

Don’t get me wrong what you’ve picked out actually doesn’t look bad tbh. I actually have the 5500 and a b450 board now. Going to take some of my parts and build my parents a pc. So I’m giving them my board and windows license, I may save the 5500 and put into a pc later for my wife or sell it in a budget box on Facebook or something.

Never built in one but check out the cooler master ql300 for a case. Cooler master always makes a decent case and it looks cool imo.

If budget is a big thing, take a look at the used market. I recently grabbed an rx 5600xt for about 85 dollars shipped from eBay. It’sa 6gb card but according to YouTube it looks like it’s basically comparable performance to the 6600. If you can land one for 100 bucks or less that opens up the budget. Or look for the 5700 or 5700xt as well. Although with the sales I think I saw some 3060s on sale for about 250 bucks.
