First build, any advice? I did some research especially to see what would fit with my budget. I also wanted to make sure everything was compatible and would fit in the tower.

Hello Old_Edge2732, 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!

You need an SSD.
This is no bueno dude. What’s your budget? Do you live near a Micro Center?
Throw out the HDD. You NEED an SSD. I also wouldnt buy a 3600 new at this point. The 3060 aint great either
I wouldn’t go with R5 3600 as it’s really aging CPU at this point. I’m sure you’ll be able to find R5 5600 for not much more. That should give you newer, more efficient and more powerful CPU.
HDD are good for slow media storage but it for that price you can find 1TB SSD which could be a good starter. You don’t need PCie Gen 4 SSD right now so getting bit cheaper PCie gen 3 SSD should be fine.
And also you don’t need 750W PSU for R5 and RTX 3060 combo… 650W should be enough even with slight headroom and it should save you some money for the R5 5600.
This is just me but I would replace the hdd for m.2 it will be only about $20 more expensive and they are way faster
