Hey girl! Good for you that you listened to apply for a node. Good luck!
You will have to upgrade your HW. Other than that you have my vote.
Application looks legit 
HW and bandwidth seem good. Got my vote!

Hai Amina,
With Ryzen 5 you mean a Ryzen 5 3600x right? Also the new Ryzen 5 5600x is a beast! I recommend that one. Problem is that the 450 motherboard series do not support Ryzen 5000 series out of the box. So ask the vendor to update the bios beforehand. Costs like 5 euros or something.
If you have any questions about hardware contact me on discord. Or ask questions in the node channel.
You have my vote. Have fun!
This application has my support too
