I'm working on a PC build that comes out to about £650 and I want to know what improvements I can make. Here's what I have so far:— AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU, MSI B450M-A PRO MAX II Motherboard, 16 GB of Silicon Power RAM, a 1 TB Crucial P3 NVMe SSD, XFX Speedster SWFT 210 RX 6600 GPU, a Lian Li mini tower case, an Apevia 600W power supply, and a TP-Link wireless adapter. Are there any parts I should consider swapping or upgrading?

One thing to consider is that your motherboard should ideally cost less than your CPU. You could save some cash by going for a more budget-friendly motherboard and then upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600. This would also let you take advantage of PCIe 4.0 features, which would be beneficial down the line.
Don't forget about case fans! Your current case doesn't come with any pre-installed fans, so you might want to pick some up for better airflow and cooling. It's an inexpensive upgrade that can make a big difference in performance.
