I'm in the process of building my own computer and I'm hoping to keep the cost under $500. I've already scored a good deal on an RTX 3060 12GB for $194 and a Ryzen 5 5600 for $88. Now I'm looking for advice on what components to choose for the motherboard, power supply, case, a 1TB SSD, and either 16GB or 32GB of RAM. I'm completely new to this, so any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Buying used parts can be a smart move if you're on a budget, as long as they have return options. Just keep in mind that used components might have issues that don’t show up until you start using them. It's all delicate stuff, so let's hope you're lucky with your choices!
Got it! So you’ve already got the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3060. For complementary parts, check out my list [here](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jyNwRV). These components should work well together and really make the most out of your setup on the AM4 platform. Also, if you're still looking for a case, the 5000D is currently on sale in white! You can find it [here](https://www.newegg.com/corsair-atx-mid-tower-5000d-airflow-steel-plastic-tempered-glass-computer-case-white-cc-9011211-ww/p/N82E16811139162?Item=N82E16811139162) if you're interested.
Yeah, I'm curious about which specific parts you think would be best. I've been doing my research too, but it's honestly just left me more confused!
