I'm looking to put together a budget build using the Gigabyte B550M K motherboard and a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU. I mainly want to play games, and I'm not too fussed about aesthetics—I'm not planning to use a case since I keep my room pretty clean and there are no pets or kids around. For context, my current setup is almost a decade old and only gets about 60 fps in games like Valorant, so any upgrade would be appreciated. I'd like to hear suggestions for parts that will work well without breaking the bank!

If you’re open to it, you could also consider 2x16GB RAM for more future-proofing, especially if you play more demanding games or multitask a lot. And if you're looking for second-hand parts, just check for any signs of wear, and see if the seller has a good rating. Just be cautious about older SSDs, I’d recommend a TLC SSD over QLC ones for better longevity!
Totally agree! I’ve had a QLC SSD before, and it was okay, but performance can dip under heavy use. Always better to get something reliable!
