What's your primary use case for the PC? Are you mainly into gaming or do you have plans for video editing as well? Knowing that can really help in selecting the right components.
If you're open to alternatives, consider going with an AMD setup. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU combined with the Radeon 9060 XT GPU can give you similar performance at a competitive price point. Just something to think about!
I'm mostly gaming but I might dabble in amateur video editing! Just lightweight stuff though.
