I'm trying to build a solid PC for gaming at 1080p and 1440p in my living room, and I came across a deal on Marketplace. Here's what I'm looking at: it includes an ASUS B450M-A II motherboard, an XFX RX 6650 XT graphics card, and 16GB of Corsair RAM running at 3200MHz. The whole setup is priced at $210. I'm considering adding a Ryzen 7 5800X since it's on sale right now, and I also like the Lian Li A3 case. What do you guys think? Is this a good start?

That price seems pretty reasonable for those parts! Just keep in mind you can't check if the components are working, so you're taking a bit of a risk there. But overall, it looks like a solid start!
Sounds like a great plan! Just make sure to ask the seller if the BIOS is updated for the Ryzen 5000 series, that can save you a headache later.
I hear you on the risk! Right now, I've got a GTX 1650 paired with a Ryzen 7 2700X and a 600W PSU, but I'm tempted to sell and switch to this setup plus the 5800X.
