I got a GPU and a bundle at micro center planning on ordering the rest online

CPU: Ryzen 5 7500X3D

Motherboard: B850M-C

RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 1 x 16 GB

GPU: PowerColor 9060 XT 16 GB

Any specific recommendations for the rest? Looking for both minimal aesthetics (with the option of RGB) and value, also really looking into a micro-ATX case; I had a mid-tower cooler master before.

Really just looking for any good deals or small performance enhancers and hoping I’m not missing out on any parts with good value.

Also CPU Cooler is needed as the cpu came pre installed with the motherboard.

Edit: Also I know RAM probably needs another stick for dual channel and general capacity, but I’m hoping to figure that out after the build and a little more time spent on it.

Coming back in the fall and was wondering how the scene is, got inspired by this NBA season and started getting back into hoops. Are pickups frequent? How casual are they?

I posted on here before asking for how to upgrade my old pc:

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/s/EIZ4RnC1gt

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: RX 5500 XT 8GB

MB: GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM 16GB 3200MHz

SSD: WD Blue 500GB

PSU: 500W ARESGAME

Case: Coolermaster (idk the exact model got it from a friend)

A lot of people in that post recommended a Ryzen 5 5600 as well as a 9060 xt 16GB, which had me wondering how much it would cost if I sold my old parts, and it kinda made sense to me just to get a new pc.

I’m thinking of getting the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D, ASRock B850M-C AM5, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 16GB DDR5-6000, Computer Build Bundle for 399.99

As well as the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT which I found for 439.99

I don’t really mind wiping and reusing my ssd and I want a new case, but was wondering if I need a new psu?

Would it make sense to just upgrade my cpu and gpu (get a R5 5600 with a 9060 xt) from the previous post or would it be worth it to just get a new pc in general?

So back in 2020 I spent a lot of time looking for deals in a heavily inflated market on a budget (brutal) and so I have this build:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: RX 5500 XT 8GB

MB: GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM 16GB 3200MHz

SSD: WD Blue 500GB

PSU: 500W ARESGAME

Case: Coolermaster (idk the exact model got it from a friend)

Im planning on upgrading storage and case but that’s not high-priority, I’m hoping for some insight on how I should upgrade and maybe some recommendations for some parts totaling that $500-600 price range
