This would be my first PC build, not looking to play any AAA games on it as I’ve got my Xbox for that, just looking to play some steam games like schedule 1 and similar games like it. Any advice would be great.

Hello yermawslittletoe420, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

Please don’t buy that motherboard I have it and there are only problems with it get the msi B650 trust me. Also don’t buy windows you can download them for free from official microsoft website and activating windows is paid which you can get a activation key completely legit at any online key marketplace like vipurcdkey, keysfan, buy-keys,… you also don’t even need to activate windows if you don’t want to it won’t impact your pc. Also you get pre applied thermal paste next to the cpu cooler in cpu box
My biggest recomendation would be to go for an AM5 socket chip and motherboard, while AM4 CPUs are still plenty today, you wont have a clear upgrade path in the future. Do note that this will require DDR5 Ram too if im not mistaken!
Double check that thermal paste. If it’s the one with silver in it I’d lean on the side of caution and get something not only better but less conductive.
