I'm excited to get started on building my first PC and want to share my components for some feedback. I've put together a list after a lot of consideration, and I'm hoping for insights from those with more experience. Here's what I have:
1) **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 — 6-Core, 12-Thread with Wraith Stealth Cooler for about $179.99
2) **Motherboard**: GIGABYTE B550 Eagle Wi-Fi6 for $99.99
3) **RAM**: Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB (2x8 GB) 3200 MHz CL16 for $139.99
4) **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A750GLS 750W Fully Modular, 80+ Gold for $96.54
5) **Storage**: Kingston NV3 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD for $169.49
6) **GPU**: Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB for about $252.14 (including taxes in my country)
7) **Case**: Aerocool Ore Saturn FRGB glass with 4 coolers for approximately $70.24
The total is around $1,007.38 USD. I'm open to any advice or recommendations you might have about my choices. Thanks!

Your build looks solid! It should be able to handle most games on low settings at 1080p without any issues. Just keep in mind that the GPU prices can vary widely based on your location.
Overall, this is a great setup, though I'd worry a bit about the 8GB GPU. However, if budget is a concern and you're in Colombia, it seems like you’re making the most of your options given the prices you face.
I really wanted a better GPU, but it was either this one or pay a lot more for older models. It's tough with how prices are these days!
Thanks! Yeah, I know it's a decent budget build, but the GPU prices give me a bit of a headache!
