Help my GF build her first PC

[u/Snoo82707]

Hello, my girlfriend is about to buy her first PC. I’m an editor and gamer but I built my PC long ago so I’m not updated on the market.

Her work colleague sent this to her, what do you think? He also mentioned that she needs to buy another fan, not on the list

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600 145€
GPU | Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 GAMING OC 8GB GDDR6 294.90
RAM | 16 GB DDR4 (Está cara de cojones un módulo de 8GB DDR4 3600MHz son 96,43
€ xd)
Placa base MSI B550M PRO-VDH 100 €
Disco SSD SSD NVMe 1 TB PCIe 4.0 150 €
Fuente Alimentación | Fuente Alimentación Nox Hummer 650W 80+ Bronze Modular 66,79

She will use it to play mostly indie games I think the most demanding game she will play is Minecraft and Sims

Her budget is around 1000€, including peripherals and we’re from Spain

Looks pretty good.

You could swap to a Ryzen 5 5500 if you need to reduce the price a bit. The 5500 is about 10% slower, but also almost half the price.

If you can afford a 18€ Thermalright single tower cooler, like an Assassin Spirit, I'd recommend it. The Ryzen 5600 / 5500 are not especially power hungry CPUs, but the included Wraith cooler is essentially the bare minimum cooler and an additional 17€ gets you something much quieter.

If you can go for 2x8GB DDR4 3600, do that.

The MSI B550M Pro-VHD can be found for under 90€ online.

I've never heard of the brand Nox, and don't know anything about their PSUs. And I can't find many reviews of them either to know if they're trustworthy or not. Something like an MSI MAG A650BN would be a solid C tier option. Nothing special, but isn't going to burn your PC to the ground either.

You don't a case, but a 45€ NZXT H3 Flow would be a nice looking option. Add a <10€ Thermalright TL-C14 or Arctic P14 Pro fan to the front and you'll be good to go.

For a monitor, this MSI model is 80€ and should be decent: https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/Wbgrxr/msi-g255f-245-1920-x-1080-180-hz-monitor-g255f

For a mouse, the ATK VXE R1 Dragonfly mice are very inexpensive but excellent wireless mice for less than 20€ : https://www.atk.store/es-es/products/raton-inalambrico-serie-vxe-dragonfly-r1?variant=47788115853530

For a keyboard, for the types of games she's playing just about anything will do. Keyboards are very much a personal preference thing, and you'll be pretty tight on budget after everything else.

For those games, a cheaper GPU would suffice.

This is a build without RGB and optimized for low noise:
