I only need a monitor and keyboard.

This is my first PC.

I know Zen 3 and new entry level graphics cards are coming out soon, so the price might go down just a bit.

 

I'm not too sure about the monitor and I know the keyboard is over kill, I might change it.

I would love some suggestions if I should change anything.

 

Thanks in advance.

What type of keyboard switch do you like, Razer has all their keyboards overpriced so I can help you on that front.

And yes wait for the 5600 and the 3060.

I think my favorite out of the razor switches would be the orange.
So tactile, but super loud I think.

 

EDIT: I forgot to say, I don't care about looks at all. I am not going to be looking at it.

Then why do rgb?  I’m also not so sure the monitor and gpu make such a great pairing.

the case is really bad for airflow. get something with a mesh front and some case fans.
