Hello, I understand you're looking to assemble your own PC and are a musician who plays casual games like Rocket League. You've picked the AMD Radeon RX 6600 for your graphics card, which was recommended by someone else here. Your goal is to stay within a budget of under $1000 for the entire build, not counting peripherals. Let me know how I can assist further!

Light games like rocket league run smoothly on a budget, eliminating the need for a high-end PC. I suggest starting with an RX 6600 as a good balance. Prices have risen slightly, now around $200-$230, with the 6650 XT coming in about $50 more. If you plan to play tougher titles later, opting for the 6650 XT makes sense. The RX 6600 offers better performance than the 6600XT/6650 XT.

For a stronger setup, consider the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 at 3.5 GHz with six cores, priced around $134.84 on Newegg. Pair it with the MSI B550M PRO-VDH motherboard for Wi-Fi and AM4 compatibility, costing about $127.18 on Amazon. Memory would be the Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine 16 GB (2x8GB), available for $39.97 at Amazon. Storage could be the Silicon Power A60 M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME drive at $52.49 from Newegg sellers. The video card would be the MSI MECH 2X OC Radeon RX 6650 XT with 8GB VRAM, priced at $274.99 on Newegg. A suitable case is the Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX mid-tower model for $104.99 on Amazon. The power supply should be the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 PE 650W, certified 80+ Gold and modular, costing $92.99 at Amazon. Overall, the total comes to approximately $827.45.
