I'm planning a brand-new budget PC for around €610. The parts are a Ryzen 5 5600, Radeon RX 6600 8GB, MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi motherboard, 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, a 550–650W 80+ Bronze power supply, and a high-airflow Micro-ATX case. I'm based in Europe. Does this look like a balanced build, and are there any parts I should change for better value?

The RX 6600 is still capable for 1080p gaming, but €210–€220 may not be the best value depending on local prices. Compare it with newer cards available in your region, and also check whether dropping a little money from the case or storage would let you move up to a stronger GPU. The best alternative depends heavily on your specific European market.
For a brand-new build, the parts are generally well matched and should make a solid 1080p gaming PC. The Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB of dual-channel RAM, and B550 motherboard are a sensible combination. Just check the exact SSD and power-supply models before buying, since entry-level versions can vary in quality.
Everything will be purchased new, and I’m shopping from Europe, so prices and availability may vary by country.
I’ll compare local prices for newer graphics cards before ordering, but I’d like to keep the total close to €610.
