This is not a good list by all means.

My first advice will be to don't stick with newegg when your budget is very limited. 

Second, Don't get that ryzen, It's very bad for it's price.

You are overpaying a lot in some parts and getting some of unnecessary parts. 

Since you wanted RGB, I didn't cut it off, But this list will be way better, Not even comparable, But little more.

U can get different GPU if you don't have this much budget, But 1050 is too low end.

Well for starters it would be great if the mobo and the CPU actually worked together  .
You've picked ASRock B550M PRO4, check the CPU support list:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B550M Pro4/index.asp#CPU
And nope, you won't find Ryzen 1st gen CPUs there... which the CPU you picked (Ryzen 5 1600X).
Beside not being supported by the mobo, 1st gen Ryzen isn't that great, so don't downgrade the mobo, upgrade the CPU... at this point in time you should forget about Ryzen 5 3600X and go for the latest Ryzen 5 5600X since they cost roughly the same and you do get a performance boost with the latest gen. If you need even more cores go for Ryzen 5 5800X.

Other than that, 128GB SSD... yeah you can get away with it, but IMHO you shouldn't go bellow 256GB (it costs just 10-15$ more) or better yet 512GB.
The rest of the build looks ok (considering GPU price insanity that isn't going away...).

EDIT: OP is changing the build using the same link, different mobo and CPU now... without notifying others about the changes. I am not gonna refresh his list hourly just so my comments are up to date, good luck with the build OP.

everything is bad, so sorry, you can get a better one with newer hardware.

make a new list on pcparpicker so you can get a compatibility check.

I say go for intel 12400 with DDR4 (not ddr5, expensive).

If you wanna go AMD, why not get a 5600g, with this you dont need a GPU, wait till gpu prices down.

Add a video card later, the 5600g has a good igpu

Case has a solid front so just yeet that and youll have a really good value rgb case with good airflow

 

Chose ballistix cause i highly reccomend heavily overclocking the ram, id suggest ~1.6v max if you can active cool the rams cause igpu relies heavily on ram bandwidth so expect to be pushing the rams over 4200 since the g apus do higher fclk then the non g cpus, b die would be prefferable here but expensive so unless you wanna hunt for cheap used b die then dont bother

 

Also overclock the crap out of the igpu, ~1.35v should be enough for 2400mhz, though you may be able to reach higher freq if you run a higher volt like 1.45v but thats just diminishing returns at those volts

To be fair, it's only "significantly much more powerful than all the builds listed above" because it has a 6600, whereas all the other builds were relying on an iGPU as a temporary holdover until the OP could find/save for a decent dedicated GPU. If you have no other option a 6600 is okay, but it's not a great GPU overall, assuming you can even find it.

Okay, they are available at newegg as a part of combo offers.

Always live in the present. Technology will keep on evolving, but you cannot wait forever. OP has a set budget, so why recommend him build right now when some of the essential components of his build are missing. By the time this GPU crisis will end there might be newer CPUs available. There shouldnt be anything like a placeholder, just ask him to build it later.

 

Again I dont want to argue, so I m ending this frm my side.

1. Ryzen bad

2. overkill RAM

3. doesn't look like you have a motherboard

4. you don't have an ssd

 

all of those are pretty quite significant problems, so here's a better idea
