Need build $1200 budget - Steady - Nov 21, 2020

My friend is looking for a custom build for around $1200 or so. I don't know much about PC building so if anyone can help me out with one it'd be much appreciated. Thank you!

Wouldn't going for a Ryzen 5 5600X and a B550 motherboard be better?

Probably, but actually getting your hands on the new CPUs might be difficult due to low stock.

Yeah, true. Depends on OP's patience, I guess.
