I am new to PC building and I am trying to put together a build for under 1200$

 

I checked these parts for compatibility on PC part picker, and it seemed good. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything, or if I should pick something else for these components.

 

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler

 

MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory

Samsung 980 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
ASRock Challenger D OC Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card
NZXT H510 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case

EVGA 550 B5 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

I would consider AM5 as well, the 7600 is a generation newer and should give you a better upgrade path in the future, but you need AM5 and DDR5 for it. The 5600X is nothing to scoff at though, and you can still upgrade to the 5800X3D or so in a few years' time.

Sure would be neat if there was something useful here, eh?
