PC build - sensibility check

Budget (including currency): approx 1200 USD (not including the GPU)

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: standard basic computing + some gaming (mostly offline)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Would like to replace current desktop which has a motherbord/CPU dating back to 2011. I already have a GPU (listed below) which I will keep from my current desktop, so the budget should cover the other parts (not including peripherals which I already have as well). The aim is to build a decent pc that I can game on from time to time and that my parents can continue to use for let's say the next 10 years for basic computer tasks (no gaming) when I move out.

I went with the alderlake CPU as this seems to be the most futureproof atm, and seems to be a big upgrade from last generation. Any tips are welcome, this will be my first build from scratch.
