If you don't plan on overclocking, go for a B660 and a 12700 instead. The performance is within 2% ~unoverclocked and will save you $50 on the CPU and $50-100 on the motherboard.

 

The MSI B660M-A Pro with the 12700 is a good idea, though knowing your specific IO needs would help make a better system.

The 12700 and the B660M-A Pro is a good option. The only concern that I have with that board is the amount of USB ports on the rear (it has 6 type A ports), though I'm a bit of a USB hog (7 is the minimum I can have on a board) and you can always get a USB hub if you need more ports.

I personally recommend a ASUS TUF Z690-Plus WIFI D4, that's the board that I use with my 12600K.

Either way, as RONOTHAN## mentioned, if you don't plan on overclocking, a B660 and a non-k CPU is much better suited to your needs
