Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
Gpu: OCPC RX 5500 XT 8GB GDDR6
Motherboard: MSI A520M-A Pro AM4
Is it okay?
Suggest me some 256 GB SSD. And in 2024 would I need a Gen 3 or Gen 4 ssd setup plz tell me. If Gen 4 then give me some suggestions about low-budget motherboards that support Gen 4.
Thank you.
The 5500 is a cut G chip, so it only supports PCIe Gen 3, regardless of motherboard. No specific board will add Gen 4 function, but changing CPU would if coupled with the “right” (B550 or X570) board.
As for SSDs, unless you’re extremely cost limited, I’d strongly suggest going somewhat higher capacity. Even if you only intend to use 256gb or thereabouts, a 512gb (for example) drive with 256gb used will outperform a 256gb drive with 230gb used.
Is it necessary to upgrade the Gen 4 SSD or Gen 4 support motherboard in 2024?
First off, welcome to the forum!
The system you are suggesting is a very low end system, and I believe you in that case can get a full second hand PC for just slightly more.
I would ditch the RX 5500 XT, take the money saved, and buy a 5600G plus 32 GB DDR4 3200MT@CL16 plus a 512 NVMe gen 3 with DRAM.
Gen 4 is nice but not necessary and not worth the extra cost in your price bracket.
Good drive models to consider, ADATA Swordfish, Teamgroup MP34 and MP44L, Samsung 980 Pro, Western Digital SN850X and Kingston KC3000. They are worth the 10-15% extra money.
— Quick edit with numbers —
Got some more time now to explain this. So this is probably what you are going for:
| Type | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 5500 | $88.89 |
| Motherboard | MSI A520M-A PRO | $69.99 |
| Memory | TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 2x8 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 | $31.98 |
| Storage | Patriot P300 256 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 | $22.49 |
| Video Card | ASRock Challenger D OC Radeon RX 5500 XT | $139.00 |
| Case | Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L | $39.99 |
| Power Supply | Thermaltake Smart BM3 750W 80+ Bronze Semi-modular | $76.98 |
| Total | $469.32 |
Ok, let’s reshuffle that build for a system without a GPU that will still run pretty decent:
| Type | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT | $117.70 |
| Motherboard | MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI | $94.99 |
| Memory | TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 | $50.99 |
| Storage | TEAMGROUP MP44L 500GB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 | $38.99 |
| Case | Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L | $39.99 |
| Power Supply | Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 (2024) 750W Modular Gold | $80.98 |
| Case Fan | ARCTIC P14 | $12.83 |
| Case Fan | ARCTIC P14 | $12.83 |
| Total | $449.30 |
The main idea here is that you go with a decent system that will lack a GPU for the first 6 months or so, instead of a garbage tier system that will work, but the experience will not be very good. The idea is that you save up to a GPU with allowance or whatever and hunt for either a used GPU, or take aim for that 5500 XT in a few months. I would probably even reach for a 6600 that can be had for $180.
All of the above assume you have access to the US or EU markets. If you are anywhere else in the world, you need to adjust it to your markets. And to answer your question, that 5500+5500 XT combo is fine and yes it would work to build it like that, but it’s also a lot of sharp corners to cut yourself on 
As with all my suggestions, feel free to add, modify, or combine any of the above that was just said!
Hi @gfdru, welcome to Level1techs!
Is it okay for what?
It converts electricity into heat okay. It can serve okay as a paper weight (in case anyone still uses such devices).
What do you want this computer to do?
As mentioned above, the components listed seem to cut corners in ways that very slight upgrades may offer a lot more capabilities.
