I'm thinking of building my first pc. The main thing i want it to do is to be budget and get gta 6 running ok once it comes out. Other games i plan to play are gonna run good on this hardware that I've planned. The components I've selected so far are:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: Radeon rx6700xt (used)
Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH
RAM: ddr4 32gb 3600 or more mhz(whatever i can find used)
First I wanna know if the main components sound good? I'm open to intel and Nvidia as well. After that I need recommendations for PSU and ssd specs. The cooling will be figured out later.

For the CPU, i'd suggest also buying it used, like your GPU, it's even less risk buying a used CPU compared to a used GPU, and you can get much better prices
Check out the asrock b550m-hdv, here it's much cheaper than the msi b550m pro-vdh (70eur vs 95eur), and these mATX motherboards don't really have much differences between them really, there's benefits to getting that MSI board, but only if you plan on having more than 64GB of RAM, or if you plan on having more than 2 PCIe devices

For some reason buying the cpu and the motherboard new instead of used is cheaper right now... Also the difference between the motherboards is less than 10 euro, but i might get the asrock. Thanks for the info on psu and storage!

You should generally buy motherboards new anyways, but it's extremely odd to see a CPU cheaper new than used, especially mid tier ones like the 5600 or the 5600x

I can't even find them on their own. Mostly with motherboards or with more parts

That's a whole different scenario though, generally it means that there's not many people selling them, which makes a lot of sense since all the people who want the latest thing already sold their AM4 CPUs when AM5 came out, and people who decided to stay on AM4 like myself, don't have plans on selling theirs for a very long time, like, the only reason i still haven't sold my 5600x is because a friend said he'd buy it off me, but never did, and i've been delaying putting it up for sale ever since because i forget i still have it

I should just ask in a group if someone has one laying around

GTA VI likely won't release for PC for a year or more. So, we really can't help you there.
However, based upon the trailers they've released, don't be surprised if it requires a beefy PC to run well.
