I'm planning to build a new gaming PC with all brand new parts for about $600 and would love some feedback on whether that's feasible. I'm based in the US and I'm looking to get this done around mid-June. Here's my build list: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ffmyCd). Any input on whether this will hold up well for gaming would be appreciated!

Honestly, building a good gaming PC for $600 using all new parts is pretty tough. You might want to consider hunting for deals on used components to stretch your budget further. That said, if you stick with new parts, it’s going to be a bit limited in performance.
I totally get that! The reason I'm sticking with all new parts is that the person funding my build isn't keen on used stuff. I'm trying to make the most of it—just switched to a Ryzen 5 5500, thinking it's pretty similar to the 5600 since the motherboard uses PCIe gen 3.
