Help with building a budget AM4/5 pc for my little brother

I'm curently trying to gauge, if it is possible to build a computer for my little brother's 18th birthday for a reasonable price, despite the quite horrid prices. I already have a 3060 ti as it is my old card.
- Budget
- The budget is mostly trying to be conservative. I'm trying to stay around 6000 dkk at max (approximately 923.78 usd), but preferably lower if possible. It can be increased if necessary or good upgrades for small amounts of money.
- Use-Case
- Mostly light gaming like, Fifa, Minecraft and maybe fortnite. Occasionally also games like god of war, assassins creed and alike.
- Country of purchase
- It is in Denmark, so the secondhand market is tiny outside of graphics cards accompanied by very high prices. Most secondhand components from last gen are around the same price as new ones. I've looked for a couple weeks and most are around 10% cheaper, but with years of use and no warranty.
- Peripherals needed
- No new peripherals needed. Mouse, keyboard, monitor and headphones are already present.
- Any other requirements / preferences
- I would prefer it to be sort of easily upgradable later down the line, hence AM5. I have created two pcpartpicker lists with both an AM4 and an AM5 version. The AM5 version seems like the best path. I can alternatively harvest a stick of 16 gb ddr5 6000 mhz cl30 from my own pc due to the extreme ram prices, but I would prefer not to.
AM4 path (4781.00 dkk ≈ 745.04 usd)
AM5 path (5982.00 dkk ≈ 923.78 usd)
Thank you

am4 is still decent box, but long term go am5 for now and upcoming cpu upgrades
don't expect parts be cheaper for years
