Something like this would be a good start. And give you some upgrade-ability down the line should you need it.

Thank you

Depending on when you want to build it maybe worth waiting until AMD announce their new cards in a few weeks and Nvidia release a 3060 (sometime early next year probably)

 

New ryzen chips are due to be released in days - you maybe able to pick up their similar tier for a similar price to the above or pick up the older one for a discount a few weeks after the launch of the new one
