Please help me. I'm desperate.

You're going to need to give us more info. Only you know how much space you need.

Can you provide the parts list? Budget?

Games are gettings a lot more bigger these days. Warzone is 52GB (133GB with Modern Warfare),  CSGO is 16GB and Valorant is 15GB. these are just 3 games and you've eaten 83GB already. If budget is an issue, I highly recommend getting HDD for games. You could start with the included 1TB and later buy and install more internal HDD.

You should only install applications that you often use on your SSD, like Windows or most used softwares. Everything else that is heavy on the HDD. Later on when you'll have a bigger budget you could buy some SSD for faster running game, but for now focus on HDD.

ok, but do you think that there is anything to scale down on the pc to fit into my budget?

I'm willing to scale down on some things, just don't lower the performance

Specs looks pretty good. Not much choice to cut down. I'm not too familiar with Liquid Cooling on the CPU compared to fan, might be something to compare price?
Your motherboard looks like it can hold m.2 drives. That 240gb WD SSD looks like it has similar price to 250gb M.2 drives. You won't need to get a sata cable either.

Otherwise, that 3060 gpu recommands ~600W Power Supply, so perhaps looking at other types that could go lower than 800W but above 600W?

You won't save much, but you could find surprises?
