First game pc help needed

[Gorgiie]

Budget (including currency): Around 1500 - 1600 euros

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA, Civ, Minecraft and anything else that I might think about later

Other details 

So I have been redesigening the way I want my new pc to be. I have discused with one of my friends that it would be better if I had a single RAM so I could change later to dual with two 16 gb instead of having 2 sticks of 8 gb. I don't think that I would need more then 16 gb so wat doe you think. Also here is a list of what I think would be great now. Please tell me if I did anything wrong or what I best should change.

 

Intel core i7-11700F

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black edition

ASrock H570M Pro4 micro LGA1200 motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 CL20 memory

Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

MSI GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB VENTUS 2X Video Card

Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case

Corsair RM (2019) 650 W 80 + Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

TP-Link Archer TX50E PCIe x1 802. 11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi Adapter

 

This would be for in september because then it's after my birthday and I would have some more money for it. My budget know is 1501,92 euros. If anyone can make this better, please I need it.

Hes a adiot. 

You can have  4 sticks of ram, get a 2x8, you get dual channel.

If you get one stick you lose dual channel, your perf will suck

Def someone who knows nothing about computers

 

Single channel in my experience tanks cpu performance by around 30%

 

Even then the only ones that use single channel ram are retard oems that want to cheap out on something minor

I would get the Gigabyte B560M Aorus Pro AX. Works out around the same price on pcpartpicker Belgium. It has built in wifi 6, so no need for the adapter.
