Assuming that you're gaming primarily, I would try to go AM5 and a better graphics card.

The 3050 6GB is really very weak for the price, you'd maybe buy one if you had an OEM PC that doesn't have a power connector (i.e. can only use slot power).

Note: I know nothing about mice/keyboards or headsets.

Tetras is way better than I am
At build lists
So will agree with most of what he said

Just wondering though
Assuming your original budget can increase
To a better gpu than the rtx3050
wouldn't recommend a 6gb card to anyone tbh
unless your intentions dont really include gaming
Could get an intel arc b580 12gb for roughly same cost
As a rtx3060 v2

My 2pence contribution would be to agree with what Tetras has shared. Would not consider AM4 anymore unless the budget is really tight.

Agree with tetra's list not only is it a better deal but also better specs with that 3060.
