I'm planning to build my own PC this summer, and I want to ensure that my build is somewhat future-proof. I'm primarily going to use it for gaming, streaming, and a bit of light photo and video editing. I intend to play games like Mortal Kombat 11, Marvel Rivals, FC24, and Baldur's Gate 3. While I believe my PC can run these games, I'm unsure about how well it will perform overall. Here's the build I have in mind:
**CPU:** Ryzen 5 5600
**Motherboard:** MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi
**Graphics Card:** ASUS TUF RTX 3060 V2
**RAM:** 32 GB (2x16 GB) Integral IN4V16GNDLRX DDR4
**SSD:** MSI Spatium M371 1TB
**Case:** Montech X3 Mesh
**Power Supply:** Corsair CX550
**Monitor:** Philips 241V8AW
**Cooler:** Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO.
Could you please let me know if this build is good enough or if I should consider upgrading some parts?

Your build should work just fine for the games you listed. Just keep in mind what level of performance you're aiming for—if you're okay with mid settings, this will do great! Also, consider your budget; if you want the latest components, you might pay a premium, but this setup should last you a good while for casual gaming and streaming.
This setup should be decent enough for now. Just a heads-up, DDR4 is becoming a bit outdated as new games require more from your system. If you can manage it, think about upgrading to DDR5 in the future. Also, aim for a stronger power supply; the CX550 might limit your options later on if you decide to upgrade the GPU.
And just a note on the PSU, you might want to consider something like the RM series if you ever plan on pushing your system further!
