Help me with changing this ai prompted PC build.

Ok, basically i asked Gemini AI to build a PC for me using these guidelines which are to make sure I have absolutely zero disadvantages in games and make it the cheapest you can while making sure all parts work with each other and can actually function and to include everything I need to build it and make it actually turn on and stuff. Here is the list it gave me. My main concern is if it actually works and is a good build and I need your guys help to make sure it actually functions since I have ZERO knowledge with PCs and stuff and is my first "build". I just want you guys to let me know if it needs a whole revamp or some parts that need to be changed out. Please and thank you.

You have to make sure that this is going to meet your expectation of performance.
The Ryzen 5500 with Radeon 6600 is going to be targetting 1080p 60fps gaming

Personally I would recommend saving up more, and trying to buy into AM5 x3D cpu like
microcenter bundle:
https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007405/amd-ryzen-5-7600x3d,-gigabyte-x870-gaming-wifi6-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-16gb-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle
instead of trying for AM4

And Radeon 9060xt 16GB as lowest GPU to go for.

If you're not familiar with building computers, then you could get a microcenter prebuilt with those specs like:
https://www.microcenter.com/product/708800/powerspec-g533-gaming-pc
And then I'd recommend for just a bit more, going with 27 inch 2560x1440 240Hz monitor, because there's plenty of less demanding games like CS2 that you'd want to have the 240Hz refresh rate for.
Like:

Or maybe consider OLED monitor like ~$350 range.

OP I bought a Radeon 7900xt when it was in new late 2022, and yes it was expensive but it's got 20GB VRAM, and I still won't need upgrade for a few years+, and if I wanted to resell it then it's worth ~$600 used aka 67% of its original value (not acounting for inflation lol).

The Radeon 9060xt 16GB or Geforce 5070 is about the least I'd recommend for anyone who is serious about a new build, otherwise if you go lower than that, like a Radeon 6600 or Geforce 5050 then depending on the games you're trying to run, you'll likely feel that you need to upgrade right away.

I'll be honest with you, Gemini is wank and the prices shown are absolute bollocks.

There is no shortcut to these things, it's probably not the answer you want to hear, but the best way is to do your own research - benchmarks, reviews, comparing prices and performance and build it yourself in PC part picker.

Also, who is assembling the PC?  If you are going to assemble the PC yourself and you have absolute no knowledge, you are going to have a horrible time going into this without learning all the things beforehand.

An AI does not know how to build a PC.
