I am by no means am a expert at this. I am putting together a gaming rig for my grandson's 16 birthday.
He has no budget and can only dream. His current system is a antique. After doing some research this is what I'm putting together for him:

Corsair 5000D case
Asus X670E-E mobo
Ryzen 9 7950X3D cpu
Trident Z5 neo RGB DDR5 64gb ram
WD Black 1tb SN850X ssd
Cooler Master ML240L liquid cooler
MSI Mag 850 GL PSU
RTX 3060 gpu

Should this last for a few years?
Any recommendations on what I might do differently. I know the GPU isn't the best but he can upgrade further down the road if he chooses to.

Thank you
