I previously used a Ryzen 5 5500 with an RTX 3060, but I upgraded to a Ryzen 5 5600X and an ASUS RTX 5060 LP. The rest of the system includes an MSI B550-A PRO motherboard and a Seasonic G12 GM 850W 80+ Gold power supply. I do not plan any major upgrades later, aside from possibly adding a 1TB M.2 SSD. Is this a well-balanced setup, and is the power supply suitable for it?

The Ryzen 5 5600X and RTX 5060 should make a nicely balanced combination for gaming, and the B550-A PRO is more than capable of supporting them. An 850W supply is also plenty of wattage for this hardware. The only concern is that the G12 GM is not considered one of the highest-tier power supplies, but it should still run this system properly if it is in good condition. There is no urgent need to replace it just for these components.
I do not have the budget to replace the power supply right now, and I am not planning any further upgrades beyond possibly adding a larger M.2 SSD.
