Hey everyone! I'm excited to share my first build in a long time and I could really use your feedback. I'm working with a mini-ITX setup and I love the mATX form factor, but I'm feeling a bit out of practice. This build is mainly for school, game design, and some light spreadsheet work, with a bit of gaming on the side (mostly indie games and PC exclusives). I plan to use the Steam Cube when it comes out and, importantly, I want to ensure I can run up to two 4K monitors.
I haven't selected a CPU or a cooler yet, and that's where I'm hoping for your recommendations! I'm aiming to keep the build streamlined without unnecessary extras. My budget isn't strict, but I want to avoid overspending on power I won't use. Thanks for your help!

Are you based in the US? If so, do you have a Microcenter nearby? Also, what's your total budget looking like? That'll help a lot in making suggestions!
Yeah, I’m in the US! Not near a Microcenter, though. My budget is around $1200-1300, not including monitors and peripherals.
Thanks for the suggestion! I really liked the 5060 inspire, but I'm curious about the benefits of the parts you picked. What do you think?
