Before we start, there are a couple of things to know:
Firstly, I live in morocco so buying from amazon or newegg isn't an option due to the extravagant taxes I need to pay for each part.
Secondly, the prices in morocco are generally higher than amazon's so I will be listing two pcpartpicker builds one with local prices and the other with normal prices.
And Lastly, I will provide another list of parts lower and higher in price and performance than the part I chose, to make it easier to understand the reason behind choosing that specific part and to inform me if there is a better combination.

-This is the build I'm going for: (Local Price)

Try to fit a B550 board into your budget so that you have the bios to support the 5600.
most b450 Botherboards support ryzen 5000-series and even if you get one that doesn't, you can just manually update the bios and it will. so its not worth the extra 60 bucks needed for a b550 board
