I'm gearing up to build my first PC and could use some expert advice. Here's what I'm thinking for my setup: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600, GPU: RTX 3070 (used) or AMD RX 7600 (new), Motherboard: Asrock B550M Pro SE, Memory: Timetec Pinnacle Konduit 32GB Kit, and PSU: Segotep 650w 80 Plus Gold certified non-modular ATX power supply. What do you think? Any suggestions on improvements or things I should reconsider?

Considering today’s games, an 8GB VRAM card can be limiting. If you can, go for something like the RX 6700 XT which has 12GB of VRAM. It really depends on what resolution you’re playing at. Everything you mentioned can handle 1080p just fine, but for 1440p, a more powerful card is necessary. Some games lean more on the CPU while others need a strong GPU, so if you’re into CPU-heavy games, you might want to upgrade that first.
I plan to use a 1080p monitor. Just to confirm, I think the RX 7600 has two versions, one with 8GB and another with 16GB, right? The price difference is about $50.
