I’d aim for a 650W power supply and a better case, but you’re also putting money into a dead platform.

Lordvile has a point. Even though it's a budget system, upgrading later could be beneficial. AMD switched to the AM5 platform some time ago, making AM4 a less favorable option for future builds. The same applies to the power supply unit. Adding more power capacity will give you better value over time and save both money and effort.

I quickly searched and found a B650 Gigabyte motherboard paired with a Ryzen 7600x CPU and a 32 GB Patriot RAM kit for just $360 on Newegg. Pairing it with a 650 or even 750 W PSU would provide solid upgrade potential for several years.
