AM4 Build/Upgrade Idea 2025

Build Help

Hello, I'm considering building a PC for christmas for my brother for college and wanted to get some input on this build I've been thinking of. I'm using some salvaged parts from a 2019 prebuilt to save on cost and I'm wondering if this seems like a cost effective build. This will be my second time building a PC.

If anyone has any thought/suggestions it would be appreciated! My main fear is that building on AM4 in 2025 is not a wise decision.
