[SOLVED] Good build?

Solution
Spending too much in areas, that won't really improve performance. Faster CPU, better SSD, and a higher wattage, seasonic built PSU, for less.

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($299.00 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Vetroo V5 52 CFM CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($173.00 @ Amazon)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory ($93.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 980 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($119.99 @ Adorama)
Video Card: PNY GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB UPRISING Video Card
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX...
The only thing I'd change would be a DDR4-3600MHz dual channel ram kit and a better SSD than that Kingston. Rest of the build looks SUPER! Could go for a Corsair AIO to pair with the case, though.
Is the 400 extra MHz worth it for €50,00? And what’s wrong with the SSD, is it not reliable or?

Thanks. I checked it out but because I’m limited to one website (store credit) the Ryzen 5 5600X (€340,00) is way more expensive than the I5-11600K (€264,00). The website I’m referring to is www.coolblue.nl. But you left me with another question. With a CPU Cooler like that, wouldn’t that make my CPU overheat?

Edit: my budget is around €1800,00, including the monitor and keyboard so I can’t go all out.
 
That cooler is plenty for a 5600x. It can handle a 5900x. You consider the cost of that AIO, vs the air cooling, I would bet the Ryzen5600x/air combo would be about the same if not cheaper.

Edit:
Looking at your website, and your given budget, the 11600k is the better option, but with air cooling still, since you need monitor/keyboard. Here is my suggestion with monitor. Keyboard would be all you would have to decide on.

Hey guys, I’m finally ready to build my own desktop but had to make sure it’s a good one and everything is compatible since I have no experience. Here is the PCPartPicker link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RqQpcT . Cheers!
Some cost cutters while achieving similar performance. This set up allows you to run that cpu with the power limits turned off in the bios. It's a round a bout way of OC these locked cpu's.

Wow! Thanks a lot for this, will definitely make sure to check this build out. Thanks for the informative cooler video. And I’m going with the Razer Huntsman Mini because I want a 65% board and it’s one of the few that the website offers.
