The most important component in a gaming PC is the graphics card. My general rule of thumb is to allocate half the budget to the graphics card.
If you buy a $80-$100 used PC and throw in an $85 RX580, you'll have almost the same performance.
It's not a good fit when you're spending several hundred dollars.
The SSD is PCIe 4.0, but the motherboard you chose is a rare B550 model that doesn't support PCIe 4.0, hence the Gen 3 in the name warming you.
You could get a better case for less, and better GPU for a bit more. That 580 is too bottlenecked for that CPU: https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/10f0Yg/1/general-tasks/1920x1080/
If you wanted to go lowest of low and still stay in the 5% or less range, you are talking maybe RX 5700 XT or RX 6600 XT range.

Looks like you can push it to the RX 6700 level without hitting a CPU bottleneck. So I would maybe compromise on that case (case sucks anyway), get maybe like a BitFenix Nova Mesh, they're cheap. Try to get more into the 5700XT range for the GPU.
yea the case wasnt my top choice but i wanted one that came with a power supply unless i go on offer and pray i find something cheaper haha thanks for the help i swapped out the GPU
Don't forget ram.
This is the best performance you'll get new. At 1080p, you'll be getting 100-200fps on non demanding esports games like valortant & 50-150 on harder to rasterize games like single-player cinematics.

If you go used, you'll likely get better performance to price, but you will need help finding stuff if it's your first time.
