I'm new to PC building and have mainly used laptops until now, so I'm seeking some advice! My brother and I have put together a budget-friendly build aimed for good performance without breaking the bank. Here are the components we're considering: Ryzen 5 3600, B450 M.2 V14, 2x8 DDR4 3200MHz RAM, AISURIX RX 580 graphics card, a 1TB Gen 3 SSD, MSI MAG A650 BN power supply, and a Montech Air 100 case. For peripherals, we're looking at an ACER KA252Q 24.5" FHD IPS Freesync monitor with 120Hz, an AULA F75 keyboard (though I might swap it for something cheaper), and an ATK Shark 11 mouse. We're trying to keep our total cost around 30,000 to 31,000 pesos here in the Philippines. Are there any parts or peripherals you think we should change to maximize performance for the price?

Your build looks solid for a budget rig! If you're mostly gaming, a good mouse pad is a must for better mouse control. Also, keep in mind that the B450 motherboard doesn’t come with built-in Wi-Fi, so you might want to consider getting either a separate Wi-Fi card or a motherboard that has Wi-Fi capability.
Just a heads up, since you're gaming, make sure you have a durable mouse pad to enhance your experience!
Honestly, your setup is pretty decent for the price point. Just make sure you're comfortable with the peripherals since the keyboard and mouse can really impact your gaming experience. If the AULA F75 is too pricey, there are plenty of quality alternatives that you should check out!
Yeah, it’s mainly for gaming and schoolwork, but gaming is the priority!
