So i am using Pc part picker for my build, these are all of my chosen parts:

Component		Selection		Price
CPU			Intel Core i3-10100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor	$168.00	Buy
Motherboard			Asus PRIME B460M-A Micro ATX LGA1200 Motherboard From parametric filter: Form Factor: ATX, Micro ATX; Chipset: Intel B460; Memory Type: DDR4; Memory Slots: 4 - 16	$129.00	Buy
Memory			Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory From parametric filter: Form Factor: 288-pin DIMM; Speed: 2666 - 5000; Modules: 2 x 8GB	$92.00	Buy

But it says that "The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated with a SATA M.2 drive, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled."

What does that mean??????

Also is this an ok build?

Thanks (by the way i barely know anything about pcs)

basically the cpu of choice has x amount of pcie lanes.  nvme drives use usually 4 of those lanes.  Using those lanes can disable some of the sata ports as there isnt enough lanes for everything.  You will be using a sata based m.2 so you dont have to worry as they use less lanes then a pcie based drive.  Hope this helps a bit.

Exactly that. Some motherboard has a workaround for lack of bandwith by basically allocating them to other part of the system, in this case the m.2 gonna take a bandwith of one of the SATA port. In this case of your board, according to the manual, your board will disable the SATA port marked "SATA6G_1" from functioning when you plug in the m.2 SSD.

as long as you're not planning on using ALL of the SATA and M.2 Ports at the same time?  You're fine.

That helps lots! thanks. What do you think about the parts list for some light gaming, would it do?

probably okay?  If you can go up to the 10400 or 10500?  They're quite a bit better in terms of performance.
