I'm thinking about buying a custom-built PC since I'm not very familiar with components. Here are the specs I'm looking at:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 5600, clocking at 3.50GHz and can go up to 4.40GHz (6 cores, 12 threads)
- **Cooling:** Thermaltake Contac Silent 12
- **Motherboard:** AsRock B450M-HDV
- **RAM:** 16GB (2x 8GB) Kingston Fury Beast 3200 MHz (I plan to upgrade to 32GB later)
- **Storage:** 500GB Kingston NV3 NVMe PCIe 4.0 (thinking of adding another)
- **GPU:** AMD Radeon RX 7600 XFX Swift 210 with 8GB GDDR6
- **Power Supply:** Inter-Tech Argus 750W RGB 80+ Gold
- **Case:** Cougar Archon 2 Mesh White
The total cost is about $930 (or 1570KM in my country) including the upgrades. Is this a fair price for the build, or do you have any suggestions for changes? Thanks for your help!

Honestly, I don't think this is worth it. The Ryzen 5 5600 and B450 motherboard are kind of outdated; you might want to consider going for a newer platform that can support future upgrades better. It's like buying into technology that's already a step behind.
What do you mean by 'dead platform’? Any suggestions on what I should be looking for instead?
