• 8 GB VRAM is enough for most projects

• Ryzen 5 5500 handles light to mid workloads well

⚙️ Strengths

✅ RX 5700 XT = near-RTX-3060-Ti performance for a much lower price
✅ Runs 1080p Ultra and 1440p High with ease
✅ Dual-channel RAM enhances CPU & game performance

✅ Excellent performance-per-dollar if the GPU is in good condition

⚠️ Minor Limitations

⚠️ B450M-HDV = basic VRMs + no high-end upgrade support
⚠️ 256 GB NVMe = will fill VERY fast
⚠️ Ares PSU = entry-level — OK, but not ideal
⚠️ No DLSS support (FSR is weaker in some games)
