I am guessing you are aiming for 1500USD?

If so, this would be a better config:

The Z690 Extreme has USB bios flash to update for 13600k.

It is a bit premature to make firm decisions when the build will be a few months hence.

Your parts are ok as far as they go.
My thoughts:

Spend $25 more for the 13600K version. It makes testing easier and is a lifesaver if you should ever have graphics issues.
You also get quick sync if you can use it:

Intel® Video Processing Library: Video Codecs

Unlock media features on CPUs, GPUs, VPUs, and other accelerators with a successor to Intel® Media SDK—a video-processing API for encode and decode.

www.intel.com

What is the make/model of your proposed case?
If it has good ventilation, air cooling is fine.
But, there are better coolers than the one you picked.
Noctua is tops as to quality. They maintain a list of suitable coolers, here is the list for the 13600K:

INTEL Core i5-13600K | CPU Compatibility | Noctua Compatibility Centre

Series: Raptor Lake-S, Socket: LGA 1700

ncc.noctua.at

Motherboard is ok, by now new stock will have the enabling 13th gen bios updates.
I might look for a B760 based motherboard.

I suggest a 2tb m.2 pcie device up front.
Intel 670P is good:

Intel 670p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D4 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNU020TZX1 - Newegg.com

Buy Intel 670p Series M.2 2280 2TB PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe 3D4 QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNU020TZX1 with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!

www.newegg.com

Modern graphics cards can have high power spikes. 650w is a nominal requirement, but you will find that 750w or 850w will not cost that much more. That can accommodate a future graphics card upgrade. 13600K can certainly support a much stronger card.
Quality of psu is very important. Look for a 7 year warranty. Seasonic focus or Corsair RMx are good.

Thanks for helping me out. It's a good suggestion but I am from India and the same components that you stated goes beyond the 1500$ mark. I want a totally Intel and Nvidia build which I can get within the range of 1,30,000 rupees (INR).

 

[999Fanatic]

Hello! I wanted some suggestions to help me build for a Intel CPU and Nvidia Graphics gaming PC. The Ram should be 16 GB or higher. CPU 13th Gen and Graphics RTX 40 series. The price should not go beyond INR 1,30,000. Please help!

I plan on using a Circle Elagantor X1 Case. And does the Plus Gold, Bronze, Standard editions which are often seen in the Power supply mean anything? And is there any major difference between A b660 and b760?

Buy a Z790 motherboard or buy a 13400F instead. A K CPU can be overclocked, but only with a Z motherboard.
Never cheap out on PSU. Buy a high quality one instead of the Deepcool.

The Deepcool PSU is fine it's made by CWT and is just an older design this doesn't make it bad. If it's possible for you to acquire a newer designed model that would be better, but this one is the best way to save money on a PSU rather than getting a no name one.

Agreed on buying Z690/Z790 for any K SKU or just buying a lower end chip. The only thing you're giving up by going lower end chip is some memory overclocking which you don't seem to be doing anyways.

80+ are efficiency ratings though they don't necessarily mean much when it comes to no name PSUs. Generally speaking the higher the better, but most people really don't need anything above gold. I tend to look at warranty of PSUs before anything else as 10+ year from a reputable manufacturer is usually a good sign they're confident in their product.

Going for 13th gen unlocked will cost 10 to 15k more. the 5800X3D is still a very good chip.

No need for an 850W psu for that build.
