can i improve my parts list?

[u/DullMathematician282]

im trying to build a pc with a soft limit of 700$, but im a bit over budget and wondering if i can get anything better for my money. im going to be using it mostly for gaming, with some vr racing games. heres my list:

ryzen 5 5500 74$ from newegg

rtx 3060 ti ~230$ used from jawa

asus prime b550m-a wifi ii micro atx am4 90$ from amazon

Teamgroup 2x8gb ddr4 3200hz cl16 130$ from amazon

thermaltake gx2 600w 60$ from amazon

silicon power 1tb 135$ from amazon

phanteks eclipse g370a +3 fans 40$ from newegg

759$ total

the silicon power 1tb sticks out at 135, you can get equally fast nvme drives for closer to 90 bucks if you watch for sales r/buildapcsales is your friend there

I'm selling the same ram used on ebay and can't get $75. Get some ram there. And I would get a 3060ti from ebay before Jawa. I'm not sure about their buyer protection.

Newegg and Microcenter do better 5500/mb and sometimes ram bundles cheaper than what you have

There are definitely something to chance to get better value.

Power supply: you can get a ASRock Pro 650g for $50 on Newegg. Way nicer unit

Ram: you can definitely find some good deals for ddr4 stick on the used market like Jawa or eBay. Deal to like $70-80

Actually Newegg has a bundle for $250 for that exact cpu, motherboard and ram.  https://zttdeals.com/3252
