First Build; Future proofing in mind

[MtnTeach]

Budget (including currency): $ 1200 (US)

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CP 2077 (maybe), Banished, Minecraft, Rimworld, Civ 4/5; Web Browsing; Streaming (Teachers who do distance learning); Basic Editing

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I'm not including monitor, keyboard, or mouse in this budget. This is my first build so I'm unsure what would be best, I guess at least 1080p with 60Hz (maybe higher). I made a build on PC partpicker, I wanted to get a better motherboard to support the 3060ti whenever I can get it, and a locked CPU for the moment so I can do basic functions atm. I need Wifi and bluetooth as well, hence the motherboard with it built in. Please give me honest feedback, the community has been great at leading me to the right spots including here, I'm just so uniformed when it comes to this stuff. Here's the link to my ongoing idea build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BpdG2V

 

Thanks in advance!

You may want to add a normal HDD for keeping the important stuff on. You may be eligible for an educational license, saving some money on the purchase of windows 10.

Yes, and also maybe you could get windows off of g2a for much cheaper aswell

One of the new videos from LTT shows some b udget ones for 1000$ which you can also use some to get one of the newer RTX cards and maybe go up to the 5000 ryzen.

oh

Not a place where you can return it if unopened, if there is something you want to change?

Although it might cost a bit of time and maybe money to return, if the seller you bought it at, supports that.

Nothing has been opened yet, thankfully. Maybe the SSD storage. Maybe I can get better.. I'm now rethinking motherboard choice now B460, H470, or the Z490 for future upgrading?
