I'm considering purchasing a PC with these specs: i5-12400F processor, Asus H610M motherboard, 16GB of 3200MHz RAM, Gagabayt RTX 5050 8GB graphics card, a 500GB SSD, and a 550W 80+ power supply, all housed in a case with 4 RGB fans. I can add another SSD if needed. What's your opinion on this build? Is it worth the $650?

Overall, this build could work, but I’d give it a 2/10 at this price point. The RTX 5050 is not the best choice given that there are better alternatives like the B580 12GB which is often cheaper. You might want to look at gaming needs—if you're into eSports titles, it could be fine, but not great for future-proofing.
Given the specs, is there a better option within the same budget?
