I'm looking to replace my pre-built PC and need some help figuring out which parts to use. I have a few components already, but I'm missing some key pieces. Ideally, I want to go for a white or light-themed build this time around. You can check out my current parts list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/G9B2Bq. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely switch to a B650 motherboard; the B850 is more for PCIe 5.0 and requires higher RAM speeds, which you likely don't need with your CPU. Reallocate some funds from the motherboard to the GPU instead if you’re not planning on overclocking.
Honestly, if you’re only playing older games, an 8GB VRAM GPU might suffice, but I'd recommend future-proofing yourself. In 2025, don’t settle for just 8GB.
Consider aiming for a GPU with more than 8GB of VRAM so you don’t run into performance issues down the line. Also, you might want to swap the PSU for a more reliable brand like Corsair but at a lower price. Make sure to look for budget-friendly motherboards that have similar specs to save a bit of cash to invest in a better GPU.
