I'm new to building PCs and would appreciate feedback on this parts list. My goal is a system that will remain useful for a while with a 1080p monitor, mainly for productivity, Valorant, and RPGs. The proposed build uses a Ryzen 5 9500F, Gigabyte B650M motherboard, RTX 3050 8GB, 16GB of DDR5-6000 memory, a 650W Bronze power supply, a 1TB SATA SSD, and an aftermarket CPU cooler. The listed total is ₱71,580, including Windows 11 Pro. Is this a sensible combination for the price, or are there better-value alternatives available in the Philippines?

The country and where you found these prices matter a lot, but based on the list, you may not need to spend extra on the AM5 platform for this budget. It would be worth comparing a Core i5-14400F with a B760 motherboard and DDR4 memory. That could leave more room for a stronger graphics card, which would make a bigger difference in 1080p gaming.
Try entering the parts into a site such as PCPartPicker, or share the exact retailer and pricing source. That makes it easier to check compatibility and determine whether each component is priced competitively. Also compare the total with and without the Windows activation key, since that may not need to be included in the hardware budget.
