I'm putting together a PC build primarily for gaming and streaming, aiming to match or exceed the performance of a PS5. Here's what I have planned:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x (8-core)
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Motherboard**: MSI B550 GAMING PLUS (ATX, AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0)
- **RAM**: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3600
- **GPU**: GIGABYTE RTX 3060 (12GB GDDR6, Open Box Excellent Condition)
- **Storage**: Crucial P3 Plus 1TB NVMe SSD (PCIe 4.0)
- **Power Supply**: Corsair CX650M (650W Semi-Modular 80 PLUS Bronze)
- **Case**: NZXT H5 Flow
Could you let me know if this build is good as a first-time setup, and if there are any improvements I should consider?

It’s a solid build for 1080p gaming and should handle streaming decently well. Just keep in mind that it might fall short compared to a PS5, depending on how much you spend on all the components. Are you looking at a specific price range?
I saw it's around $1,100.
