I'm planning to build my first PC and I want feedback on my components. Here's what I've picked out so far: MSI GeForce RTX 5060 VENTUS 2X OC (8GB), AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with Wraith Stealth cooler, MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI motherboard, an Okinos case, an MSI MAG A650BN power supply, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB RAM, and an MSI Spatium M371 1TB SSD. Does this look like a solid build for gaming?

What games are you hoping to play? This build seems decent for 1080p gaming! Just keep that in mind depending on your gaming goals.
It's a good start, but you might want to consider upgrading to a Ryzen 5 7600 for DDR5 support. This will help your build stay relevant longer.
If you can, try to get an RX 9060 XT, either 8GB or ideally 16GB. The 5060 has some limitations, like pcie x8 lanes, which might cause issues with performance down the line, especially with an older CPU.
Honestly, I would avoid the 5060 if I were you. It’s not the best option out there.
Can you explain what makes it bad?
