I was wondering if this was a good rig for gaming

Welcome to the forums!
That will work very well for gaming. Only recommendation is you could get by with a 500W psu.

Oh also it may just be my datahoarder nature and this may not apply to everyone, but you might want in addition to that NVME a SATA hard drive or SSD of 2-4tb for files, other programs, etc.

Luckily that's an easy upgrade down the line. I recommend getting a 2 tb or so HDD hardrive off of something like Amazon. Personally I store all the things I use often on my NVME SSD and all of my games that take up a lot of storage on a HDD. (cough cough Call of Duty)

Yeah that's why im "investing" in the harder things to upgrade at the start cause its easier to upgrade storage or ram than a gpu or cpu

If you are just gaming, the i5 12400f makes more sense. Put the savings towards a better gpu. 

 

So something like this would save around 400 Euros.

I would prefer something like this. Go for the 12600k instead, use a bigger ssd, and use the saved cost from the cpu to buy a 3060ti and a better case.
