You should get an Intel 11400F or 11600K as you are overpaying for the 3600

first of all don't pay 100$ for windows. I think you should find a way to get a better gpu, 1080ti is getting kinda dated.

Not only would you be overpaying for Ryzen 5 3600, you would also be paying near MSRP for an older generation CPU. I would recommend i5-11600K but don't go higher with i7 or i9 for this generation.

RAM

Looks fine and is rather future-proof, but if you end up with Intel you may always decide to go with cheaper modules. (I got 32GB DDR4 2666MHz for around CAD $120 so there definitely is room to save your money on, but it depends)

Motherboard

Would have to be switched if you go with Intel.

Storage

Depending on your game library or application, you might want extra storage

PSU

Wattage is likely not enough, or at risk of being not enough if you are going for GPUs around the same price point.

GPU

GTX 1080Ti is not bad but should only be considered if you are buying pre-owned and not paying MSRP, try to go with more recent generations of GPUs. I would recommend RTX 3070 or 3060Ti, but in fact any recommendation regarding GPU is pretty unrealistic at the moment. (addressed at the end)

OS

You should not pay this much for Windows 10. You could try hiring a builder for you that would include it for cheaper.

Display

I would honestly recommend you go with 1440p for a new setup in this era, not a lot of extra stress on the GPU for a much better experience.

 

At this point in time (with the chip shortage), you should start with the GPU; I would even recommend you first get your hands on a GPU (literally having it in your hands), before you go ahead with the rest of the build; if things go south and you don't end up building it you will likely not even lose money reselling your GPU.
