For the graphics card the rtx 2060 doesn't need changing I'll upgrade it to like a 3060 in the future also the cpu I'm happy with.

Budget parts on the ram and ssd buy as long as they with no worries. Thing that stands out to me is the rtx 2060. Forget the rtx 2060 and the 3060 for that matter if you can spare an extra 10 bucks.

Edit. Have a look at this video.

If you need to shave money off the budget you can get the rx 6600, but you can see the 6600xt trades blows pretty well with the 3060. The faster gpu will help gaming.

I’ve got a 6700xt and am pretty happy with it. Though I’ve played on a 6600xt. If you are at 1080p it works great. Ray tracing is better on the 3060, but personally I feel the amd gpus are just better value. Quickly scanning the prices of the 3060, it looks like that 6600xt is about 80 bucks less than the cheaper 3060 cards , which as you can see is pretty close to it.

So I did lots of research on these components and researched compatibility on them I have attempted making a 1,000$ build a few times but there was mixed opinions. I want to upgrade my build in the future by adding a rtx 3060. This time I finally think I have something good enough to work with... (I already have the gpu)

At face value, the build you've listed on PCPartPicker is good, though if you intend to upgrade the RTX2060 KO to an RTX3060, you will have to up the PSU to something higher in wattage. If you didn't purchase the PSU yet, you should up the wattage. Where are you located? What sort of tasks are you going to tax the system with? I said face value since you could extract a little more performance from the build if you went with a dual channel DDR4-3600MHZ CL16 ram kit.

I'd also get a smaller SSD for the OS/app's, have the larger SSD as the game library if the build is for gaming. Speaking of gaming, what titles do you intend to tax the system with? If it's not gaming and for purely productivity, then the build needs some refinement, storage wise.

If you have got right around $1,000 to pay on a replacement play computer build, you have got enough to create a extremely solid system. For $1,000 you'll be able to build a play laptop which will hit something on a 1080P monitor simply.

I'd mostly be playing games like Fornite, Minecraft and a few other random games and I would do school related things on it. Other then that my motherboard has a LOT of storage slots that I can use in the future so that shouldn't be a problem right now. Thanks for the advice!

I've gotten a lot of advice from people in these forums. Based off everyone's advice I made a list... Can anyone give me advice and tell me if its a good build or not? (gpu already bought)

Seems ok. Too bad the gpu was purchased already as they’ve got this faster one cheaper.
