I've come across a PC that I'm considering buying, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. The specs are: Ryzen 7-5700, 32GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, and a Radeon RX 6600, but it doesn't come with an operating system. I'm particularly interested in whether it can handle AAA games and competitive titles with good FPS. Is this setup a good deal for 650 euros?

The price is fair based on the parts, but you might find better options if you're willing to look around. Check sites like Facebook Marketplace or local classified ads for second-hand deals. The RX 6600 is decent for 1080p gaming but isn’t the strongest card available right now. Plus, if you can stretch your budget by just 20 euros, you might score a Ryzen 5 5800X instead. Overall, it'll handle most AAA games, but expect to lower some settings for the more demanding ones. If you don't want the hassle of building your own, this PC should serve you well, but with a bit more effort, you could end up with something significantly better for a little extra cash.
Honestly, I'd say no, that Radeon RX 6600 is pretty weak for gaming. The Ryzen 7-5700 isn't the best choice either since it has a different architecture compared to the rest of its series and only features 16MB of L3 cache. For that budget, you could find something that performs significantly better.
Thanks for the advice! Given the budget, what do you recommend instead?
Is it generally better to buy a pre-built PC or to build one yourself? I'm new to this and unsure what's good and what's not.
