I'm building my first gaming PC and I've done a bit of research on the components. Mainly, I want to use it for gaming and school work. I'm considering the RTX 3060 for the GPU, but I've heard mixed opinions about whether it's worth it. I'd appreciate any feedback on the parts I've picked out; I've linked them here for reference: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q8B3TM. Thanks!

You probably won't need an AIO cooler for your CPU; that might be overkill. An air cooler would work just fine. If you're aiming for 1080p gaming, I’d suggest the RX 6600 instead—it's a solid choice along with the 3060. Just make sure to pick a PSU that matches your GPU for optimal wattage.
It really depends on your budget, but let's assume you want to keep it under $800 for now. Check out this build I put together: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sdktGJ](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sdktGJ). Hope that helps!
I'm actually willing to spend up to $1000, just so you know!
