I'm putting together a PC and my budget is around $700-$800. I'm planning to wait until Christmas to buy components since RAM and SSD prices are currently high. I'd love your input on my build and if there's a way to get better performance for less money. Here's what I'm considering:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor ($153)
- Motherboard: Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($121)
- GPU: Arc B580 12GB VRAM ($366)
- Case: Deepcool CC560 V2 ATX Mid Tower Case ($54)
- Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BNL 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($58)
I already have a monitor to use with this setup.

AM4 sockets work well with cheaper DDR4 RAM, so that’s a good choice. A 16GB setup should be plenty. Also, check out Amazon; they have a Be Quiet 650W Gold PSU with a 10-year warranty for around $65, which could save you a bit.
The build looks good overall, but it'd be easier to review if you shared a link on PCPartPicker. Just keep in mind that prices might go up as the year goes on, so you might need to bump your budget a bit while waiting.
Your build looks solid! You should be able to play games at 1080p on high settings. Just make sure to go for dual-channel 16GB DDR4 RAM for optimal performance.
Thanks! I'll definitely upgrade to 16GB since my old build only had 8GB.
I forgot to mention I'm from Romania.
