Budget (including currency): Rs.1,40,000(inr)
Country: India
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:
Games- Lots of games. I wanna be able to play most of the AAA titles for at-least the next 1-2 years, I also will be playing a lot of RainbowSixSeige, Valorant, COD, etc. Also i really want it to be a decent VR capable system.
Programs- I will also be using the pc for programs(3D rendering, editing, etc) such as Unity, Blender, Adobe, etc. I will also be doing some light streaming and recording
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

I hope to be able to game at 1440p(or)1080p res and 50-60+(or)100+ fps on most of the titles, and also a good VR experience
So, I initially kept a 2060 in this build cause all the stuff I've read or googled were like go for a 2060 or(if I could spend it) 1080ti or 3060ti. But unfortunately both these cards were basically costing the same as my build(about Rs.120000) so I had to go with the 2060.But after a while I found that a 3060 was just bit more than the 2060(about Rs.20000) and so I decided to go with the 3060, luckily(relatively speaking, just gonna turn a blind eye to what this build should have actually costed) it fit quite nicely into my total budget including peripherals and other stuff which I listed below:
Peripherals:
Dual Monitors- (secondary)1-BenQ 54.6 (21.5-inch) LED Backlit Computer Monitor, Full HD, Borderless, IPS Monitor, Brightness Intelligence Technology, Adaptive Eye Care Technology, Dual HDMI and in-Built Speakers - GW2283 (Black)
(main)2-Acer Nitro 27-inch (68.58 cm) IPS Gaming Monitor 2560 x 1440 Resolution - 400 Nits - 2W x 2 Speakers - VG271U (Black)
Computer Stand- Rife Free Standing Height Adjustable Dual Monitor Mount for 2 Arm 13 to 32 Inch LCD Screens with Swivel and Tilt (Black)
Keyboard -HP K300 Gaming Keyboard (4QM95AA)
Mouse -Redragon Gainer M610 Wired USB Gaming Mouse 3200 DPI/LED Lighting for Windows/Mac PC (Black)

Extra - DAHSHA 4 Pin PWM Splitter Cable Female to 3/4 Pin Adapter Sleeved Splitter PC Fan Power Extension Cable (1 to 3 Way 26cm) (I don't really know what this does, I assume it takes 3 fan points and converts it into one I guess, idk)
Other Stuff:
VR - Oculus Quest 2 — Advanced All-In-One Virtual Reality Headset (64GB)
Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Switch with neon red and neon blue Joy‑Con - Version 2 - HAC-001(-01)
Phone - Asus ROG 5 or One Plus 9 (Both are bout the same cost, Rs.50000)
So, my entire budget comes to Rs.300000(around $4000), I really will not be able to go above this. So, I have a couple of questions regarding the build.
Note- Please keep in mind that I'm from India, the PC prices are not pretty here(to say the least). Because where I live, the only option I have is amazon.in , so please recommend parts only available on here.
Questions:
1)If I sacrifice my need to play Mario(Nintendo switch) and get a GPU, which one should I get and would it be worth(like, would it actually make a difference)?
2)Is my CPU gonna bottleneck my GPU?
3)Is my cooling enough or do I need to do more ?( I currently have 5 fans in the planned case)
4)Is there a better a way to choose the monitors or am I stuck with these ?( Cause I want to be able to game at 1440p but buying two 1440p monitors would be too much)
5)Do I need any other peripherals for my pc ?
6)Thank you for you're help
Finally, yes I understand that I'm basically throwing away money with the current GPU prices, but due to circumstances my only window to buy these is this august.(Hoping it comes down a bit by august)
I'm planning on buying this around August
Thank you all for you're help
Update:
A lot of kind people pointed out that for upgradability I should probably get a better motherboard and I need a cpu cooler and could do better on ram, and well I upgraded them, Thank you for you're help
