[SOLVED] Request for 1st Build input

Hi Guys!
I'm super new to the world of PC building and have just thrown together a very rough build after some surface research and was looking for some feedback. Advice on peripherals like keyboard, mouse and monitor would be greatly appreciate too! (Would prefer 2 monitors for work purposes)
Link to my no doubt very unoptimized draft build:

The support list on the BIOS page for the motherboard, says you're good to go with the BIOS that's shipped with the board. You could go for a DDR4-3600MHz ram kit but given how prices are high in Australia(and New Zealand) I think you have a good build for the price point. I don't think you're going to get all you want with that budget, unless you get some more to splash or you compromise on other arena's.

Here's a revised build;

The two SSD's; the lower capacity is for OS and apps, while the larger capacity is for your game library. You would be best served if you gave us a list of the games you'll be playing and the apps you'll be using since some app's like a scratch/buffer drive. The larger platter drive is for storage. Smaller footprint build, more space on your desk and ofc, the slots on your board are optimally used.

Thanks so much for your feedback Luftij, greatly appreciated!
In terms of games I'd definitely be looking towards playing titles such as CyberPunk, Baldurs Gate 3 and Doom Eternal.
For Apps, only basic stuff like Microsoft programs and some potentially video editing software for vlogs but this isn't a necessity.
Is there much difference between the edited build you posted (thank you again) and my original in terms of power? Or a better question might be would I see much increase in capability if I was willing to spend say another 200-300 dollars?
And in terms of the case I went for a mid size case because I'd read that it was recommended for beginners to get something bigger to make it easier on their first time building, is this just for the real dummy's?
Thanks for your help!

i would be avoiding Asus i got z490E model and Z390F and can not stand there software called Armourcrate its total pits.

i can not wait to get some more money i am going to buy either Asrock Z490 Extreme 4 or Tachi Z490 with built in WI-FI Ax type i found the Asrock motherboards more reliable and better software support.
