Are you building a new PC or just scavenging parts for you friends or family?
I am building my first pc
Yes.
However, I would get twice the amount of RAM, and maybe reach for a 5700X. Replace the Liquid Cooler with an air cooler and you’re already halfway there. Here is what you have proposed, or close to it:
| Type | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 5500 | $86.54 |
| CPU Cooler | GAMDIAS CHIONE M2 (240 AIO) | $157.00 |
| Motherboard | MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX | $74.98 |
| Memory | Silicon Power GAMING 2x8 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 | $34.97 |
| Storage | TEAMGROUP MP44L 500 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 | $43.99 |
| Video Card | Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 7600 | $269.99 |
| Case | NZXT H7 Flow | $120.44 |
| Power Supply | Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White | $39.95 |
| Total | $827.86 |
So if we tweak that a little, shift some stuff here, pull some stuff there, and do not buy two pizzas and a beer this month, this is what a little optimization will get you:
| Type | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | $178.28 |
| CPU Cooler | Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE | $33.90 |
| Motherboard | MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI | $119.99 |
| Memory | TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 | $55.99 |
| Storage | TEAMGROUP MP34 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 | $69.98 |
| Video Card | PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 7600 XT | $319.99 |
| Case | Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L | $39.99 |
| Power Supply | EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GT (80+ Gold, Fully Modular) | $64.99 |
| Case Fan | be quiet! Pure Wings 2 140 mm | $9.90 |
| Case Fan | be quiet! Pure Wings 2 140 mm | $9.90 |
| Total | $902.91 |
Now you have a decent budget gaming system for older games that can run quite a few games and will be able to run new games on 1080p medium-low. It isn’t a 1080p destroyer, you want a 7700 XT or 4070 for that, but it is pretty close… 
If this is too much, you can shave off $50 and buy the 7600 over the XT variant, and you can downgrade the CPU all the way to the 5500, though I would not go lower than 5600, 5500 does not support PCIe 4.0 which the 7600 benefits quite a bit from.
