I'm considering a PC build with the following specs: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor, Windows 11 Home, ASUS PRIME A520M-A II motherboard, 16GB of PCS PRO DDR4 RAM at 3200MHz, an 8GB NVIDIA RTX 5060 graphics card, and a 1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD. Is this a good setup?

It really depends on the price. The Ryzen 5 5500 is on the slower side, and the motherboard is pretty basic. The GPU has 8GB of VRAM, which is decent, but not outstanding. Also, you didn’t specify the SSD model, which makes a difference.
The SSD is a 1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD with speeds of 3500 MB/R and 3200 MB/W, if that helps!
I have no clue about building PCs, and I’ve had a hard time finding a good prebuilt option. I’m worried I won’t be able to assemble one myself!
If you’re not up for building your own PC, there are plenty of pre-built options out there. Just make sure to compare the specs! Also, don’t hesitate to look for reviews!

How about $900—is that a good deal for this setup?
