Your budget is too low

Even a used 3060Ti or 6700XT costs 16-17k & these GPUs are more powerful than a PS5. Need at least a 650W bronze PSU.

16+8GB is bad for gaming, make it 2x16GB. What is the frequency of RAM?

R5 3600 is slow for current gen games (say MSFS 2024). Upgrade path to 5700X3D exists in AM4. Good AM4 mobo like MSI B550M Pro VDH WiFi costs 10k. Cheaper B550/B450 will throttle 5700X3D because of low quality VRMs. Also Gen4 PCIe slot of B550 helps a bit with GPU performance.

Can consider PS5 slim digital for under 40k from amazon. Lower upfront cost but higher running costs (expensive games, subscription to play online)
