go for b560m motherboard, 256gb of ssd (klevv c710 or team mp33/mp34), 2tb wd purple or seagate skyhawk (dont do barracuda or bluue since it's now mostly SMR drives), and for psu go Corsair RM750/RM750X, Seasonic Focus Gold 750w, or Bitfenix Whispher 750w.

The B460 board is going to limit your RAM speed. You want a B560 board and 2x8GB 3200Mhz RAM.

Don't buy a 2tb hdd if you're going to use this for gaming.Cuz,It's not practical to buy a Hdd in 2021 It's not worth.but,If you have heavy storage needs buy it.

you shouldn't buy this ssd at this time.Atleast you should buy a 512gb ssd.

Don't buy a m.2 nvme ssd for this motherboard.Because,As I know this motherboard shares its m.2 slot's bandwidth with sata iii.It means one of your sata iii device will be disable when using a m.2 nvme ssd.If you want to buy one them,then you have to buy a motherboard which doesn't share its m.2 slot's bandwidth with sata III devices.

I agree with that.
You can also go for an ASUS rog strix 750w 80+platinum psu , which is made for heavy gaming.

Don't waste money for this.You should go for an intel core i7-11700f.Because you don't need an intergrated gpu.They have the same perfomance.(not the same, but it's too close to the same)

it seems like you dont understand how the nvme works, also i disagree with hdd in 2021 is not worth. an nvme ssd is perfectly fine with that mobo, since it only have 4 slots (not 6) so nothing to disable, and the nvme is connected directly to the cpu pcie lanes iirc. there is no reason to not use an nvme drive and a hdd for that build.

You can also go for an ASUS rog strix 750w 80+platinum psu , which is made for heavy gaming.

Although i heard that psu is really an investment, there is no reason to buy enthusiast level psu if he is not planning to spend more psu above 80+ Gold certified ones, any good psu should be fine for heavy gaming.
