Can i build a pc under $1000

I want to upgrade my setup, Im currently playing on an old ass tv and a ps4, i was thinking of buying a ps5 but i feel like if im spending that money i might as well put it towards a pc. A build that i have made is around $1300 but its an am4 build with a ryzen 5 5600 and a 9060xt. Another build i have is an am5 build at around 16-1700 dollars with a ryzen 5 7500f instead. both have 16gb of their dedicated ram. What would be a good upgrade, buyijg the ps5 for around 300-500 bucks used or saving for the pc. I cant seem to get any good deals on used parts on ebay or marketplace as most of the stuff i find cost more than retail. The games i mainly will be playing is minecraft, and some story games, and gta 6 when it drops.

Im 16 turning 17 in october

I am planning on buying a car when i turn 18 as my first car, I want something that looks nice, is cheap, luxurious and reliable, it doesnt have to be fast as i mainly want it be a daily later and get me from point a to b. I dont want to buy an absolute shitter because if i spend money on it feels like a waste becaue of depreciation and that. I was thinking of cars like mercedes, lexus, kia, even genesis but they are quite expensive. I was wondering if anyone knew of cars that had similar interiors to the genesis G70 while being cheaper and reliable.

How could i mske this build cheaper

im 16 and trying to upgrade from a ps4, I want a cheap pc that can play almost any game at at least 60 fps. I was going to do an am5 build but with prices its really hard and im not sure on where to buy used stuff for good cause whenever i go on ebay i see parts for more expensive than brand new used. im making an AM4 build instead as i could better fps per dollar..

What case should i get

Im on the fence avout whether i should get a deepcool ch260 or an antec flux m. I orefer the aesthetic of the ch260 but ive heard the antec flux m is a better case overall as it comes with fans and is more reliable, is there a case that fits the aesthetic of the deepcool while being as reliable as the antec?

Need help building a pc

I recently got a job and want to upgrade my set up. I am currently running a crusty chromebook that can barely run google, a ps4, (ik ps4 in the big ‘26), but i’m only 16 so my parents dont think its a good investment for them to get me a ps5.

I want a pc that’s around $1k-$1.5k and on am5 so i can upgrade easily later. The games I plan on playing most are minecraft, gta, roblox, and gta 6 when it drops. Currently all i know that im going to be buying is the Antec Flux M case as i really like the aesthetics of mini atx cases mixed with fishtanks. The only peripherals im certain if getting is the bridge 75 keyboard

I am also planning on using this pc to start a youtube channel. I live in australia so i want the prices to be based of there.

I have built a pc on pcpartpicker:

If someone could tell me how i can make this pc cheaper will still staying on am5 and not sacrificing too much performance would be greatly appreciated.

what pc case should i get

Im planning on building a pc using a ryzen 5 7600x and a 9060xt, i want the 9060 to have three fans because i like how it looks. i personally like micro atx cases as full tower feels too over the top. I like the shape of the deepcool ch260 but ive heard bad things about the quality.

the full specs for my pc are going to be:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
GPU: Gigabyte Gaming OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE (Micro-ATX)
Memory: Crucial Pro Overclocking 32GB (2 × 16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
Storage: 1TB Kingston NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL 850W 80+ Gold

any recommendations for parts to help with price to performance, i want to keep it around 2-2.1 k aud, and any other cases with similar dimensions would be nice
