The ASUS RX 7600 8GB at R4,650 suits a lounge-focused PC builder who wants a gaming pc that can feed a projector with smooth 1080p gaming without pushing the whole build into premium territory.
Start with the graphics card, then size the room
For projector gaming, the GPU matters because the image is usually stretched far larger than a monitor. The ASUS RX 7600 8GB at R4,650 gives you a clear 8GB graphics-card anchor for a sensible living-room build, especially when the target is playable visuals rather than chasing every ultra preset.
The Ryzen 5 5500 at R1,100 is the practical CPU match when the projector setup is mainly for games, streaming, and controller-friendly use from the couch. Pairing that Ryzen 5 chip with the MSI A520M-A Pro at R700 base keeps the platform cost controlled, leaving more room in the budget for the projector, screen, speakers, and a tidy HDMI run.

A home projector build needs quiet placement and simple cabling more than flashy desk gear. The Palit RTX 5060 at R4,800 is a stronger graphics-card pick if the PC will sit near a lounge TV unit and handle newer games on a larger projected image, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D at R4,800 makes more sense for a high-refresh gaming room where CPU speed matters.
