nice price to performance on the build.
u could go with a cheaper x320/350 mobo but that depends on the price difference and how much you want to save.
Also i dont know much about the availability of second hand 6600.
can you tell us how much a used 6600 goes for normally?
maybe get a 550-650W good quality psu.
refer to cultists psu list.


other than that the build is solid.

Must be hard to come by, considering how new the card is.

I think 2060super/2070super perform similar to 6600/6600XT, and those are relatively more available in the used market. I'll link a reference 50k build which leaves 21k for the GPU & cabinet.
I haven't paid much attention to product launches lately, so there could be better components for the price. This is just to show you that with a 50k budget, you could go for brand-new for the rest of the components.
 
i think used 6700xt are much more common and come around 19-20k.
this can be a better value.
if someone prefers nvidia, they may go with 3060, around 20-21k.

I have seen a couple on Facebook recently. If I cant find one, I will consider those GPUs, thanks.

6700XT is the ideal pick but does the jump from 6600 require a significantly more expensive GPU and maybe a UPS down the line?
 
6700xt has a rating of 225Watts , with underclock 200 is easily achievable .
i dont know much about 6600.
i would recommend to be on the lookout for a 6700 (non xt), 7 percent weaker than xt variant, consumes 130-150W only, so much more efficient.
if u are buying new the price is from 21-24k , depending upon the deals and ur luck.
