I've been considering building or buying a PC and initially thought about checking out Facebook Marketplace, but I've heard some safety concerns about that. Instead, I've put together a list on PC Part Picker Australia. I'm particularly interested in gaming titles like Rocket League, Valorant, and Minecraft. Can anyone give me feedback on whether this setup would work well for those games? Here's the link to my build: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/9kkPsK

I’d recommend looking at a power supply around 850 or even 1000 watts for future-proofing, especially considering graphics card upgrades. They can be power-hungry. Your initial choice still looks solid for a beginner with my recommendation.
You really ought to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600 and definitely grab an SSD. It's a game changer for load times and overall performance.
For about $110 more, consider this build: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/zvnqkD. It upgrades to a better power supply with higher wattage for the price. The SSD you've chosen is a bit slow, so go for a Gen 3 drive instead of Gen 4, like the MP44. Plus, switching to a B550 motherboard will give you Gen 4 support. The RX 6600 will outperform the RTX 3050 in most scenarios, except for ray tracing.
