Looks good, but the SSD is a HUGE NO-NO. Don't get it. It will become SLOW. It doesn't have a DRAM cache.

 

Also, If you can spend a hundred bucks more, get a core i3

IMO spending $180 on an RX 550 is wasting your money, that gives you no less than 1650S/future 3050 in normal conditions

 

I'd rather build a PC with iGPU and wait for GPU prices/stock to normalize

 

also $80 is too much for a dual-core,

At that price range on games that arent exclusive ill just go for an Xbox Series S with a year of Xbox Game Pass. Kill 2 birds with one stone, as those 2 games are already in game pass and EA Play. Or if ya dead set on PC, run for used Dell Optiplex 9020 with the i5 or i7 4790k and used 1050Ti.

Right now graphics card prices aren't the best, so the RX 550 you selected is actually pretty bad value for money.

That power supply also isn't that great, and you also don't have a case.

 

This build is better, but the graphics card is the 3200G's integrated GPU (the Vega 8), which will run the games you want to, but a decent bit slower than the RX 550. Hold on to that until graphics card prices get better, and then get something like an RX 570 for 150$.

PSU - Garbage
GPU - RX 550, I know thjis market is trash but honestly a used RX 570 would be better
SSD - not good, but ok for basic needs and considering it's a budget build you can keep this
RAM - not good.
CPU/Mobo - Not good. The 10100 + a B460/B560 board is only $70 more. 

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

Also as for whether you could do crypto mining.... I mean... after electricity costs if 1-3$/month on an RX 550 is worth it to you
