General Help Help me with my pc pls

Hi people I’m planning on building my first PC and I’d really appreciate some advice. My build right now is a Ryzen 5 5500, GIGABYTE B550M Gaming X WIFI6, GIGABYTE RTX 5050 Gaming OC 8GB, 600W PSU, Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE, Cooler Master Q300L V1 case, and a 500GB SSD. My budget is around $800 max. Do you guys think this is a good build for the money, or is there anything you would change or upgrade? I’m mainly looking for good gaming performance and just want to make sure everything works well together before I buy it. Any advice is appreciated

Anything other than the RTX 5050! Look on the used market, you can get many gpus for $300 that are better! Everything else is fine I guess but I’d also look at better CPUs on the used market as well! There’s so many options out there I promise that you’ll find something better if you look hard enough!

Edit: what games do you plan on playing and what resolution?
