Considering both the ongoing ram apocalypse and economic disruptions from the war in the middle east, this deal is a very good value for a budget build in the current market.
The r5 5500 is essentially an r5 5600g with the integrated graphics removed, it has 6 cores and 12 threads. While it still utilizes the zen 3 architecture (two generations old) and is on the last generation am4 socket, there are a couple additional downsides compared to standard zen 3 cpus. Most notably, compared to the r5 5600 it has half as much L3 cache (16mb instead of 32mb), and only supports pcie gen3 rather than gen4. This shouldn't make too major of a difference for a budget build, it mainly affects gaming and certain storage intensive productivity application performance, but it's still worth noting. This cpu does not have integrated graphics, you will need a discrete graphics card for display output. Certain gpus, particularly low end modern gpus like the rtx 5060ti and below, use a pcie x8 interface instead of x16, and will perform notably worse with pcie gen3. Specifically avoid the rx 6500xt, which has a pcie x4 interface. The 5500 comes with a wraith stealth cpu cooler included, while that cooler is rather mediocre it should be sufficient for a low powered cpu like the 5500.

As far as I can tell, the feature set of this board seems decent for the price, though I wouldn't plan to upgrade to a 12+ core cpu on it. It should be sufficient for any standard budget build. It uses the b550 chipset, which is the midrange option of the most modern chipset generation for the am4 socket. Keep in mind that with the r5 5500 cpu you will not be able to utilize pcie gen4, even though this board supports it. As a last gen am4 socket board there is no upgrade path. In the past I would've recommended even budget buyers try to get a low end am5 build, since the price premium was generally more than worth it, but with the current ram price situation am5 builds are much less viable at the low end currently.
A decent 16gb kit of ddr4 tends to be at least $115 by itself, and this kit at 3600mt/s cl18 which is actually a bit above average. The speed and timings aren't anything truly exceptional, but it's not going to drag down even a midrange am4 build either. Team group is more of a budget brand, but they're overall reputable.
