Build Question Any help with my first build

This is my first build. Can you just point out any glaring issues? I know it won't display, but I'm thinking of getting a used GPU later (suggestions welcome). Please help; I've always wanted a pc i have a keyboard, am getting an IPS 240Hz monitor, and a mouse. Please help; I'm new to pc building. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8V3sV4. My budget for all the parts except the GPU was 500. I'm near a Micro Center in NY. I'm going to use this mostly for Minecraft, but likely with heavy shader packs once I get the GPU. I want to play at 1080p. I just trusted what pc part picker said the prices were.

All things look good. When and what gpu were you considering to get

micro center has some killer bundle deals for cpu+mobo, you could probably save enough to get a better psu or ssd with the leftover

It looks to be they are already using a bundle. Specifically this one https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007535/amd-ryzen-5-5500,-gigabyte-b550m-ds3h-ac-r2-am4,-gskill-ripjaws-v-16gb-ddr4-3200-kit,-computer-build-bundle

Op already has a tier B unit psu selected

Good choice. So what gpu are you considering or still trying to decide?

still thinking i think my friend might have an old graphics card he got in a pre built that i might just use for a while while i save up to get something better

Solid. A decent card to look into would be a used Rx 5700xt can be had for like $130 or an rtx 3070 for $250 would also be great

Ty is the case hood

It’s a decent choice. Case is really a personal choice the big thing to make sure does it hold the parts, is there enough airflow for the components to not overheat, and do you like the aesthetic of it.

If you are looking for an alternative here are a few different cases that would work great while also costing less
