Seems like a pretty reasonable little build to me, apart from the older gpu, considering the market lately it's not too bad. The prices feel a bit high for the cpu and gpu, but that's just our new reality for the time being. Personally I would have aimed a bit higher with the power supply, but I would probably build while planning to swap out the gpu in the future and give myself some power budget leeway
