Hey everyone! I'm putting together a budget PC and could really use some feedback. I live in Australia, so keep in mind that prices can vary quite a bit—what might be $50 for you could be around $90 for me. Luckily, I'm not strapped for cash, so I'm open to suggestions. Here are the parts I've selected:
- **Case**: The Cooler Master Q300L V2 Mini Tower Case
- **Power Supply**: The Thermaltake Smart BM3 650W 80+ Bronze PCIe Gen5 ATX 3.0 Semi-Modular Power supply
- **Motherboard**: The ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 Motherboard
- **CPU**: The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core/12 Threads UNLOCKED
- **RAM**: The Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 2400MHz kit
- **Storage**: The Crucial P3 SSD M.2 500GB
- **Graphics Card**: The ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6500 XT O4G Graphics Card
Oh, and just a heads up—I'm pretty new to this whole PC building thing; I've only done about a day's worth of research!

I’d suggest at least going for the RX 6600 XT; it really makes a difference!
Are you planning to buy all these parts new? Just checking to see if you're looking for budget options or upgrades.
The GPU you've picked only has 4GB of VRAM. I’d recommend checking out something like the RX 6600 XT instead. Just a little more investment, but it'll give you a better experience! Here’s a link to an option: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6rfKdb
OMG, that looks really good! Thank you, and it’s still within my price range—much appreciated! Also, do you know what games this PC could handle? I’m not looking for anything too intense.
Oh, you should be fine for games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and even some newer titles at moderate settings!
Yeah, I’m going for all new. Why—should I consider used parts?
