I'm putting together a gaming PC and want to know if my current build is worth the price. I plan on upgrading to a 9060 XT with 16GB in the future. Here's what I have so far:
1. Ryzen 5 8500G - 14,655 RS
2. Gigabyte B650M Gaming WiFi - 9,695 RS
3. Crucial Pro 5600MHz 16x1 RAM - 4,095 RS
4. Thermaltake Smart BX1 650W 80+ Bronze Power Supply - 4,745 RS
5. Zebronics Iceberg Cabinet - 2,800 RS

Thanks for the insight! I’m actually thinking about looking for some used parts to save money. Anyone have advice on which components are safe to buy used?
Honestly, it might be better to save a bit more and go for a Ryzen 7500F and pair it with 16GB of RAM and the 9060 XT. Right now, you've only got one stick of RAM, which isn't ideal. Going for dual-channel with 2x16GB would definitely improve performance, especially if you plan on using the integrated GPU. Overall, I'd say this build isn't the best for the price.
So, are you saying this build isn't worth it?
