[SOLVED] Help with compatibility on the parts I chose for my custom pc and If should swap anything out with better/cheaper parts?

Solution
Thank you for your time and input in advance! I am new to PC gaming and want to build my first PC using the rtx 3060 ti.

Your build works but I can see where cost can be cut.

If you don't need wifi then look at this board.

MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4 $139.99

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-A-DDR4

If you need wifi this board is due to arrive at Newegg within the next few days.

MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4 $149.99

Pair up one of those boards with this cpu...

Look for RAM with low profile heat spreaders so it doesn't impede your cpu cooler.
